The Chess'n Math Association sponsored the Canadian Junior ( $12,000) which qualified Richard Wang of Alberta to the the 2013 World Junior. We are paying airfare for him and his Dad to to the 2013 World Junior ($4,000...included in the $12,000) .The World Junior begins shortly in Turkey...As you may know there are things happenig in Syria...which is a border country to Turkey....the Turkish organizers have moved the location of the World Junior at the last minute ...just in case! I am happy to report that Richard has confirmed his participation at the new location! We all wish him well and we will follow him move by move!

I have been asked by a number of parents if the CMA will be organizing the next Canadian Junior. For the record the CFC has not asked us to do so. I do not know what their plans are for the next cycle. At the CMA we believe that the format we adopted in 2012-13, is the way Canadian Chess has to be developed. A bright young parent from B.C. said to me at the 2013 CYCC...Larry...if you only do this once to say...this is how it should be done...it may be good for your ego (she was not so blunt LOL) but it will only give fruit if you make it happen on a continuous basis...hmmm...I thought about this...and she is right (did I mention she was bright :).
Maybe the CFC can enlighten us with their plans for the next Canadian Junior...and we can go from there...Fred?
