Canada beats Mexico!

[Larry Bevand]

The North American Youth Championship will be held in Montreal from August 16-19, 2010. This is the first time the event comes to Canada. The Chess'n Math Association is organizing the event as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations.

Last year the event was held in Mexico and it drew 120 players. Well at this point we are over 135 players pre-registered and we still have to receive the names of the official Canadian delegation....so with 1 month to go we are in excellent shape and we are aiming to surpass even the 2010 CYCC numbers .

We have over 40 players from the U.S., 5 from Mexico and 7 from Haiti which should provide our youngsters with exciting competition.

It is not too late to enter. Go to

A list of pre-registered players will be posted once I receive the names of the official Canadian delegation from the CFC Junior coodinator Michael Barron.
