2006 Canadian Women's Championship

Natalia Khoudgarian wins 2006 Canadian Womens Championship after an exciting tie breaker playoff! A two game playoff with SD30 time control saw Dina  Kagramanov win the first game after Natalia blundered a piece under time pressure. Then Natalia won the second game to force a second playoff of 2 games with SD15 time control. Natalia won both of these games to win the right to represent Canada as the Canadian Womens Champion for 2006!

Natalia also won the title of 2006 Ontario Womens Champion as the top finisher from Ontario.

Congratulations!
