Corrections have been made on our site. Thanks! Larry

Just a reminder that folks have until the end of the month to nominate youngsters for the player of the year .

You can find the criteria of the program at:

https://chess-math.org/2018-2019-cma...llence-program

**Larry Bevand** · Friday, 31st May, 2019, 04:50 PM

Over 1,100 youngsters have played the required number of games so far. There is still another month to get your games in. We expect about 1,500 players to make that threshold.

To nominate a player of the year you have until the end of the day tomorrow. So far we have about 100 nominations in the various categories.

Larry

Well...we have been getting inquiries every day about this...and rightfully so!

We will produce a youtube video this week with the results of our first CMA Excellence in Chess Program!

The winners, who attend the NAYCC banquet in Kingston, will receive their award at that time. Others will receive their award by mail by the end of AUgust 2019. Those who earn the 2019 ''CMA Ambassador of Chess'' distinction will receive their personalized jacket in September. I have the pleasure to announce that Stefanie Chu, the first girl to win a National Championship in her grade at the Canadian Chess Challenge (it was grade 8 in Montreal in 1997), will be present in Kingston. She has come forward to sponsor some of the prizes....her way to give back to a great experience in her life! If you would like to see her chess accomplishments go to: http://chess.ca/node/97

She will be sponsoring (and presenting) the awards for the top girls from Ontario in each category! Thank you Stefanie!

The Chess'n Math Association board of directors has approved the renewal of this excellent program for the next school year (2019-2020) with another $10,000 being offered. How do you have a chance of winning? It is simple...play in CMA rated events between Sept 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. Our qualification rules remain the same as those we used in 2018-19.

We are working on the video this morning and it should be posted online by tomorrow.

**Larry Bevand** · Friday, 2nd August, 2019, 06:24 PM

AND THE 2018-19 WINNERS ARE: https://chess-math.org/2018-2019-cma...llence-program

Great program!
comments on the videos:
- Could have a banner with the CMA logo between the wood above the board.
- Nicely framed image, could use an additional light stage left for left presenter.
- Board position is funny. Could be a mate in one problem, then at end with Larry it could show the solution.
- Presenter fumbled in Ontario, could have been reshot.
- Error in website text should only be three w not four. wwww
- Great biographies of CMA ambassadors could use portrait photo of winner with printed name and rating.
- Would have liked to hear the city of each winner.
