As we all know the WYCC has split into two tournaments the world youth and world cadet chess championships. The World Youth will be held September 20 to October 4th in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia in and the World Cadet will be in Batumi, Georgia October 18 -31. We are already being asked to commit with regard to the size of our delegation in the next few days for the World Youth. If you plan to go regardless of finish in CYCC please let us know immediately so that we can plan for the proper arrangements. If we commit to a too small delegation it may be that we will not be able to accommodate extra players this year.
