(NOTICE) 2020 National Youth Active Online Chess Championships - Nov 8, 2020

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The 2020 National Youth Active Online Chess Championships is a qualifier to the Selection Stage (Continental) of FIDE Online World Cadets & Youth Rapid Chess Championships.

Hi Everyone,

I should probably start my “CFC Forum Career” by shortly introducing myself. I am GM Gergely Szabo from Romania, reasonably active in Canadian chess over the past few years – some of the members here probably also know me personally. Let my first post on this forum be an invite for a brand new event, the National Youth Active Online Chess Championships!

Juniors to Masters Chess Academy Inc. as sanctioned by the Chess Federation of Canada, invites Canada's youth Chess Players to the first ever National Youth Active Online Chess Championships on Saturday, November 8, 2020.

Proceeds from this National event will be used in part to fund:
1. A special group training for the 10 Section National Online Champions led by Team Canada Head Coach Grandmaster Gergely Szabo with other Masters from the National Training Program for Canadian Youths.

2. A contribution to the CFC Youth Fund to continue the advancement of Canadian Youth Chess.

For more information and to register: https://juniorstomasters.site123.me/...-championships

Having the opportunity to closely watch the growth of (youth) chess in Canada lately, I'm hoping many talented Canadian young players will participate on our event – and I'm eagerly awaiting the occasion to work with the Champions from each age group!

Welcome to the CFC Forum Gergely! It's great to see you taking a more active role in "internal" :o Canadian affairs.

Kudos to you and Victoria for conceiving and organizing this National Youth event, and to the CFC Executive for supporting this initiative and placing it in an appropriate framework. All the best with the Championship! I will place your information in French on the FQE sites / forums; hope to see many Quebec youth players taking part.

MISE À JOUR IMPORTANTE : Les Championnats nationaux d'échecs en ligne actifs des jeunes 2020 sont une qualification pour la phase de sélection (continentale) des Championnats du monde en ligne de la FIDE pour les cadets et les jeunes.


Bonjour à tous,


Je devrais probablement commencer ma "carrière au Forum des FCC" en me présentant brièvement. Je suis le GM Gergely Szabo de Roumanie, raisonnablement actif aux échecs canadiens ces dernières années - certains des membres ici présents me connaissent probablement aussi personnellement. Que mon premier message sur ce forum soit une invitation à un tout nouvel événement, les Championnats nationaux d'échecs en ligne pour les jeunes actifs !


Juniors to Masters Chess Academy Inc., tel que sanctionné par la Fédération canadienne des échecs, invite les jeunes joueurs d'échecs canadiens au tout premier championnat national d'échecs en ligne pour les jeunes actifs, le samedi 8 novembre 2020.


Les recettes de cet événement national seront en partie utilisées pour le financement :
1. Un entraînement de groupe spécial pour les champions nationaux en ligne des 10 sections, dirigé par le grand maître Gergely Szabo, entraîneur en chef de l'équipe du Canada, avec d'autres maîtres du programme national d'entraînement des jeunes Canadiens.


2. Une contribution au Fonds pour la jeunesse des FCC afin de poursuivre l'avancement des échecs pour la jeunesse canadienne.


Pour plus d'informations et pour vous inscrire : https://juniorstomasters.site123.me/...-championships


Ayant eu l'occasion de suivre de près la croissance des échecs (de jeunes) au Canada ces derniers temps, j'espère que de nombreux jeunes joueurs canadiens talentueux participeront à notre événement - et j'attends avec impatience l'occasion de travailler avec les champions de chaque groupe d'âge !
