CBC was present on site today and interviewed Richard Bérubé (FQE Executive director and chief organizer) and Bernard Labadie (FQE President), as well as some of the CYCC participants. The pictures are on our Facebook page (thanks to Victoria Doknjas!) : https://www.facebook.com/fqechecs
Also, we are glad to announce that FM Lefong Hua will be analyzing games (for free) between noon and 2 PM on the first three days of the CYCC. He will obviously only be able to analyze a handful of games every day, but spectators will be most welcome.
