Fail to see why there should be any more interest in Canadas line up than there should be in say….Iraq..or Gyanna.
Its a rather poor team and nothing to take note of.
Canada is going to finish ahead of Iraq or Guyana (Not Gyanna) easily.
Because you can’t spell too well, anyone reading this blog should question your opinions on chess.
