I saw this in the latest issue of "Chess Life". Do we have any active juniors that would meet the qualifications? What would be the count of blind, deaf, and physically disabled players in your average Canadian kids tournament? Note that it's not broken down by sex. Unless it's very well publicized by FIDE (in Europe and Asia) and the USCF, I can't see it happening.
