Wow, that's interesting. Let's pretend it was a computer gremlin. I'll have a little edit...

Hi John:

One I noted was in error was Mysha Gilani. She plays at SCC and ACC.

I fixed Mysha, you should probably refresh. Damn gremlins...

Two of the South European opponents that Canadians encountered in Girls U-08 had an unusual title AFM beside their names.

I was curious to look it up. FIDE really makes money out of thin air !

Titles for online play? OMG No wonder he is IllusionOf. FIDE is such a pathetic joke.

Thanks so much Toto! I was wondering where does all the stuff go in the absence of this year's page. :) Hang on guys, you're almost halfway there, use the rest day to the fullest and come out swinging. Most of all, have fun.

Happy birthday Luke Pulfer, an outstanding young man! Congratulations to Julie and Beau.

Qiyu Zhou will be on top board tomorrow and retains excellent chances of becoming Canada's first ever two time WYCC winner (:

Tomorrow should tell the tale. Qiyu is now the highest rated player in the GU16. Itis a tough slog and she has already suffered one defeat. But she is a gutsy competitor and usually rises to the occasion. :D

Re: WYCC 2015 under way

Many players have been having excellent results, however I wanted to point out one player who will be very pleased with his results. Adam Dorrance has 3.5/6 in the U18. Now 3.5/6 although a good result isn't particularly spectacular, except when three of your opponents are 2400's and 2 are 2300's and your 2131. That is really incredible.
