Just visited the Westin Harbour last night. Lots of great games, players, and I must say, the site is beautiful. Here are some photos:
Looking outside the window
Downstairs - delightful carpets!
Downstairs from another angle
Elevators
Hmmm...I wonder where the chess room is :)
Close-up
These stairs were meant for kings and queens!
One of the many hotel pianos
Empty room beside the playing hall
Thank you to all the sponsors!
Peek inside
Full view
Ice-cold water and white tea tablets ("free antioxidants!" - Jeffrey + Jennifer)
Tournament directors only
Monroi live game displays
Side view
Even the ceiling is fancy
Getting dark
From the window at night
A bit blurry, but the Westin Harbour consists of the two tall buildings
A nice touch to end the dayI will soon be uploading photos from my recent trip to the U.S. - some really cool stuff. Check back later! You won't be disappointed :)
In addition: Congrats to all CYCC participants! The WYCC folks won't know what hit 'em...Go Team Canada!!!

Hi I saw you visit. Would be better if you were playing though!
I thought about playing, but I have other commitments during the week, and could only schedule a visit :( It's an unfortunate coincidence that most of the tournaments this summer fell on days I had something else planned...Ontario Open, Hart House, Canadian Open...and the one tournament I was going to attend got cancelled (Guelph).
