      Im interested to see how GM Jeffery Xiong does in such a tough crowd. (however alot of the world's top ranked are missing) The big question is: are the Iranian youth still underrated?

        Jack,

        According to chessbase.com the Iranian team at the Baku Olympiad will field three players under 16. They were part of the team that came 1st at the U16 chess Olympiad in Poprad-Tatry, Slovakia

              Compare to other World Juniors, this one looks not so strong and very small.

                It's the second year in a row when World Junior is held in India. I'm expecting the 2017 World Junior in Tarvisio, Italy to be much stronger and larger.

                      I understand that he was born in 1996 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and plays out of Vancouver, B.C. Can anyone furnish further biographical details?

                        I'm glad to see a Canadian playing in the World Junior this year. I do have few questions for the CFC Youth Coordinator. According to the CFC handbook his job description is:

                        The Youth Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating our participation in the World Junior Championship, the World Girls Championship, the WYCC, the Pan-American Junior and Youth Championships, The North American Junior and Youth Championships, the World Youth Chess Olympiad, and any other FIDE-related junior tournaments. The Youth Coordinator will be responsible for finding organizers for the Canadian Junior Championship and the Canadian Youth Chess Championships, and for assisting the Provincial Junior Coordinators in finding organizers for the Youth Chess Championships, and any Regional Qualifier Youth Chess Championships.

                        1. Was Davaaochir the official Canadian player to this event and what incentives did he receive from CFC?
                        If he wasn't the official Canadian player skip question 2

                        2. Without a Canadian Junior Championship (last one was organized by Chess'n Math in 2012) what were the criteria for selecting him?
                        CFC rules:
                        62. Participation in the World Junior Championship and World Junior Girls Championship: [Motion 2013-R (Mallon/Denommee)]
                        a) The official representative of Canada in the World Junior Championship events will be the winners of the respective National events. If the winner is unable to participate, the second place finisher shall be invited to go in his place. If the second place finisher also declines, the highest finisher in the tournament who is willing to participate in the world event shall be selected.
                        b) Additional players may participate, however they will not be the official Canadian representative and as such will not be entitled to any special offers from the organizer of the World event. Such players are responsible for all fees and expenses that may be involved in their participation. They must qualify in one of the three following methods:
                        1) Finished 1st-3rd in the National event
                        2) Are rated higher than 2300 CFC or 2200 FIDE (2100 CFC and 2000 FIDE for girls)
                        3) Participated in the National event and have a peak CFC or FIDE rating above 2000 (1800 for girls)
                        c) Any players who wish to participate in a World Junior Championship event who qualify under 1062.b.2 or 1062.b.3 must pay a $250 fee to the CFC in order to be eligible. Players qualifying under 1062.b.1 are exempt from paying this fee. All fees collected under this rule are to be immediately forwarded by the CFC as a principal donation to the Kalev Pugi fund to support youth chess in Canada.
                        d) The CFC Board of Directors shall use an appropriate tie breaking method to break ties if required to determine the order of finish. The tie breaking method must be acceptable as per CFC and FIDE rules, and must be announced prior to the start of the National event.


                        3. Why didn't CFC make any announcement about this event so other players can participate if they're interested?

                            In a perfect world the CFC website would have a place that advertised deadlines for National event bids, coaching National teams, and being representatives at International events, without a defined qualifier (such as this case).

                            Davaa contacted the CFC, as he had to be nominated by us in order to attend. I don't have a specific timeline, but with no other apparent interested parties, he ended up being as our official player.

                            The Handbook cam only be used as a guideline, since the new constitution came into effect.

                            Frank, Vlad or Hal might have some more comments on this.

                              1. Davaaochir was the official Canadian player to this event. He received no incentives from the CFC.
                              2. He asked to go. He was the only one that asked to go. That was the criteria.
                              3. There are many rules in the handbook that are no longer relevant. These days we usually go with the highest rated player who wants to go to an event. There is rarely more than one player interested in a particular tournament. We get multiple event announcements every month. Some are deemed interesting enough to publicize. Most pass without a ripple in the pond.

                              It is not our job to prevent people from going to tournaments or at least it hasn't been as long as I have been President. I know that not everyone agrees with this policy.
