We have 24 players representing Canada at the WYCC in Vung Tau Vietnam. The first round results are almost complete. You can find results at http://chess-results.com/tnr15980.aspx?lan=1 . Many arrived not long before game time but seem to be doing well for the most part.

First round Eric Hansen played against Canadian Alexander Martchenko and in second round is paired against Lloyd Mai. Poor Eric could have spent less money to play these two opponents in the first two rounds.:(

This is ridiculous. We send a Canadian team to the WYCC and they play each other. I see from other posts that this happens all the time.

I think we should start a campaign to get the rules changed for 2009. At the very least, pairing rules should minimize pairings within a country.

What do say Ellen, shall we throw the full weight of the CFC behind this campaign ?

The chances to have an impact with such requests are similar with the ones CFC has to recouperate the money WYCC 2005 Belfort organizers (Mr Touze in particular) have overcharged quite a few Canadian delegation members. We have not seen a penny back more than 3 years later!...

Would the current CFC Executives be willing to look into that problem? I am willing to donate the amount they owe me (and it is not just a few dollars) if CFC manages to solve anything. Is that good enough incentive? ;)

We have one player with 3 out of 3 . Kelly Wang in the U 8Girls is doing very well. Today is the 2 round day so we'll see if some players can get good results in the heat. GO TEAM CANADA!!!


PS Hi Valer I will ask about the 2005. From all I've heard it was an administrative catastrophy and there will be little chance of recuperating money at this point. I believe Patrick tried to get refunds for participants.

I keep in touch with the parents and players. One story that I keep getting is:
"Thanks very much for your e-mail. It is HOT and HUMID here! It is hard for the kids. There are just fans in the tournament area. I still had jet lag and wake uo at 4am everyday."
"It was the hottest day so far and the girls had to play two games today."

I am still waiting to see how they like their CFC team Canada shirts.

Hi Ellen:

If some of the kids have internet access, maybe you could invite them to put a " blog " post here on the CFC Chess Forum? Be interesting to get their own impressions directly too.

Well, you should have seen WYCC Belfort 2005 at the extreme negative, or WYCC Greece 2004 at the extreme positive end. However the point is the road of 1,000 miles starts with the first step: recognize chess as a sport. From that critical point on everything would come more or less flawless:
- national federation capable to do something for everyone;
- chess activity all over the country in better venues; ;)
- improve competition and representation.
It is pretty simple really...

This was a great round for Team Canada
14 wins
6 draws
4 losses
Unfortunately our lead player Kelly Wang lost this round but she still has 4.5 out of 6.


They now have a day off to rest and visit the region before round 7.

It might get worse. Our four players in U-16 have similar scores, but they haven't played a mini-RR amongst themselves. Yet. Rd 7 showed no further intra-Canadian pairings there.

FIDE pairing rules tend to be strict. They are obsessed with reproducibility of pairings. And you can kind of understand that because somebody points out that the exact pairing rules were not followed, and then as a domino consequence their precious player received an unfavourable matchup. Changing pairings because of the origin of players is verboten. The penalty could theoretically be maximal: non-rating of the tournament, non-counting of norms. You can't blame the pairing committees for doing what FIDE orders them to do.

Another example of FIDE's policy on this is the World Cup pairings. Frequently they have highly avoidable intra-country pairings in rounds 1 and 2 of that event, but they don't budge.

If you wanted to mandate reproducible rules which prohibit intra-country matchups, it could get complicated. For example, if in a 40-player section, you have 10 Canadians, prohibition would badly skew the pairings. 20 Canadians and you suddenly have a Scheveningen tournament. 22 Canadians and prohibition makes it impossible to pair round 1. Oops, my bad. You give four Canadians byes in each round! A different example: two Canadians are in the lead. Do you never pair them?

Even now, FIDE pairing rules are not comprehensible to a human. They are a wordy flowchart for a computer programmer. That's one reason why some computer programs actually do produce perfect FIDE pairings: the rules are written for computers! Add a new complex schema for avoiding intra-country pairings, and the whole system becomes even less accessible, to humans.

At the 2006 Great Open in Morelia, with 722 players, I let the computer make FIDE pairings for the first six rounds, but then in the last round vetted the pairings so that players from the same state (in Mexico) didn't meet. As it turned out, I needed to change only one pair of pairings (i.e., one switch), and in a section that wasn't going to be FIDE-rated anyway. Given the opportunity (time doesn't always allow), I'd still make minor switches to avoid geographical pairings. Darn the torpedoes!

My WYCC Trip
By Janet Peng U8G

As I got off the Cathay Pacific Airplane, I felt hot and humid. I was finally at Vietnam! We got our bags and went to the shuttle bus. After three hours driving, we arrived at B&T Hotel to get our photo ID picture taken. Then we went to our hotel called Vungtau Intourco resort and had a later dinner. We went to our room and slept right away.

I woke up and saw the beautiful beach right in front of our resort. Then we went to the tournament place. It is very big. As the first round started, I was very nervous and scared. I saw so many people from different countries and so many good chess players as I walked into the room.

After 6 rounds, we had a free day. YEA, FREE DAY! We had a city tour and we went to four places. At the end of the tour, we went shopping at fine art market. I bought lots of things, like a wooden crab for my grandfather and a model motor bike for myself. Now I am ready for the 7th round.

I am so happy for my sister Jackie who is also in the tournament and is winning 3.5 out of 6 games

Looks like white got his draw from a position of power.

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 b6
(5..c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ndf3 c4!? was Petrosian's way to make a struggle.)
6.Ndf3 c5 7.c3 Be7 8.Bd3 Ba6 9.Bb1
(White is a bit better.)
9..Nc6 10.Ne2 cxd4 11.cxd4 Rc8 12.0-0 Qc7?!
(Necessary was 12..g6 preventing White's next. After 13.g4 f5 14.exf6 Nxf6 15.h3 Ne4 16.Bd3 White has more space and Black's light squares are fragile but at least his minor pieces have active squares.)
13.f5! Nb4 14.fxe6 fxe6 15.Ng5 Bxg5 16.Bxg5 Qc4
(On 16...Nc2 White might try to play safe with 17.Bxc2?! Qxc2 18.Rf2 but Rf8 is fine for Black. Instead White can play to win with 17.Nf4! since Bxf1?! 18.Nxe6 Qc6 19.Nxg7+ Kf8 20.Nf5 gives plenty of play for the Rook e.g: 20..Bxg2 21.Bh6+ Ke8 22.Nd6+ Kd8 23.Bxc2 wins. 17..0-0 would improve.)
17.Ng3!
(White can win a pawn by 17.Rf2 Nd3 18.Bxd3 Qxd3 19.Qxd3 Bxd3 20.Nf4 Bf5 21.Nxd5 but after 21..exd5 22.Rxf5 Rf8 23.g4 g6 24.Rxf8+ Nxf8 25.Rc1 Rxc1+ 26.Bxc1 it is a draw by blockade.)
17...Nc2 18.Bxc2?
(To force a draw, but 18.Rf2 traps the N since Nxa1? 19. Qh5+ will mate.)
18...Qxc2 19.Qh5+ Qg6 20.Qxg6+ hxg6 21.Rac1 Nb8 22.Rxc8+ Bxc8 23.Rc1 Kd7
(Agreed drawn since 24.Rf1 Ke8 repeats.)

Ellen,

You're right - it's really the best results for Team Canada for last years!
Thank you for your efforts to put such Team together!
Congratulations for all players!

Maybe on their own, without a coach, kids really play better? :confused:

Probably now some of our Heroes could consider an Invitation to International Youth Camp at Chess Olympiad?

Please let me know if you are interested.
