    I don't NEED an answer to this, but there was the FISU (Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire) WUC (World University Championships) last Autumn, run out of Poland (on Tornelo).

    Just wondering if anyone knows the difference(s) between the two. I'm just curious, I can live with both.

            Likely, more than 1000 players was too many for this event. After the Sat fiasco, FIDE divided players into 4 different groups. 2 winners of each group advance to final.

            GM Razvan Preotu (U of Texas) finished with 8/10, which was good for 4th place on group D.

            Joseph Belissimo (U of Toronto) also finished with 8/10 in group B (8th place)
