46.0. "News from Chess Festival in St.Johns" by POTARU::COUPAL (A lost sock in the laundromat of oblivion) Mon Jan 25 1988 16:35

        Can someone in NB post some results of the Chess Festival going
        on in St.Johns ?  There doesn't seem to be too many results 
        leaking from the Press.
        
        Thanks in advance,
        
        Pierre Coupal

46.1	We'll try to keep up	KAOA01::GLOBRIEN	Glenn A. O'Brien @TRC	`Tue Jan 26 1988 12:33`	3
	We only have a couple of New Brunswick offices, and with very few people. I'll try to keep you up to date as best I can. And the city is Saint John, N.B. St.John's is in another province, Newfoundland.
46.2	Canadian Winner!	KAOA02::SEED		`Wed Feb 10 1988 12:33`	5
	And while the interest level is still high... Canadian Ken Spraggett beat the Soviet (not sure of his name) in "sudden-death" style play. After many draws, this was the only way the contest organisers could think of to decide a winner.
46.3	Tal takes the blitz title	KAOA01::GLOBRIEN	Glenn A. O'Brien @TRC	`Mon Feb 22 1988 21:55`	3
	Mikael Tal (sp?) of the Soviet Union won the blitz chess tournament (10 minutes per game). Kasparov, the early favourite, was beaten by a Bulgarian player (Georgiev, I believe).
