Welcome to Canadian Bacon. We were founded as a Gameknot Chess team on July 20, 2005. The "Exclusive Honour Roll" is based on results and a member "retiring from gameknot as a member of ~Canadian Bacon~".

We request your settings be what you are comfortable with to ensure you can complete your games. Avoid timeouts if at all possible. Our goal is to improve our game play and meet some new people. Occasional team tournaments will be arranged to have fun and learn from playing your teammates.
"I like my pieces to be coordinated, so that at critical moments they stand on the right squares." --Anatoly Karpov
