    I would like to raise the point about FIDE titles in need of renewal such as FIDE Instructor and such. There must be a way to ensure good communication between FIDE, our CFC office and the titled...

    I have one question only regarding the bid presented: is this the best deal money wise we can get for those hotel rooms? I have never been to Quebec City yet and my knowledge of the room rates could...

    CYCC is the highest stage for junior chess in this country. Being as such it deserves the best possible organizing effort from anyone interested to bid on it. If this assembly believes the Vancouver...
