The April TNT got off to a good start with 23 players. Tournament Director Lorne Gibbons welcomed back Kris Gibson, Peter and James Martens, as well as newcomer Christian Kalk, who tied for first in the unrated section of the Grand Station Chess Challenge recently held at the McPhillips Street Station Casino.

 With 5 Tuesdays in the month of April, the players have been given the opportunity to choose either a 4 round event or a 5 round event. The players will vote on this next week.
