Re: 2018 Ontario Girls U-19 Championship: qualifier for the SPFGI and the CYCC - Feb
Are you a junior female chess player? Did you already participate in the competitions organized by the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC), the Chess n' Math Association (CMA) and your local chess professionals? Here’s a unique opportunity for 2018!
The 2018 Ontario Girls U-19 Championship will serve as a provincial qualification tournament not for one but for two spectacular chess competitions. Play in the Championnat and get a chance to go to Quebec City and to St.Louis, Missouri, to take part in those magnificent tournaments.
Grandmaster Susan Polgar and Webster University kindly invite Canadian girls to take part in “The 15th Annual Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ Invitational (SPFGI)” scheduled to take place in Saint Louis, Missouri (July 2018, exact dates TBA). The event will offer more than $200,000 in prizes and scholarships. The annual Susan Polgar Foundation Girls’ Invitational is the most prestigious All-Girls event in the United States. Every province will have an official representative receives free lodging and meals from the Webster University.
In the previous years, Ontario sent to the SPFGI many young stars, including WCM Rachel Tao, Rebecca Giblon, and WGM Qiyu Zhou. Will it be your turn in 2018?! Here are several reports about Team Canada 2017 :

An important thing to know: oftentimes, the Canadian provinces where junior chess is less developed are unable to send their girls to the SPFGI. In these cases, the managers of Team Canada invite more girls from Ontario, Quebec and B.C. In the past, a young rising star WFM Svitlana Demchenko from Ottawa was invited according to this practice; Svitlana had a fantastic time in St.Louis. It can certainly happen in 2018 that, in addition to the Ontario Girls Champion, other girls from Ontario would be invited. Only those who take part in the Girls U-19 Championship will be considered for inclusion to Team Canada, so it is absolutely crucial that you play. – Register now!
In addition, exceptionally for the coming year, the Ontario Girls U-19 Championship will serve as a qualifier for the Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) that will take place in Québec City on July 01-05, 2018. This is a unique opportunity for Ontario girls to qualify in a safe and secure environment! Every player who achieves at least the 50% score will qualify, upon approval by the Canadian Chess Federation (CFC). This is yet another reason to register, especially for the girls in younger age categories. Qualify for the CYCC in comfort, safety and security of an all-girls event, without loud boys running around everywhere. :)
In 2018, the Ontario Girls U-19 Championship returns to the familiar location in Mississauga. Use this extraordinary opportunity to play against other girls and qualify for the SPFGI and CYCC. Take advantage of a special “early bird” price before January 15. Register now! All the details are in an attached flyer and on the Elevate My Chess site:

We’re looking forward to see you!
