Re: Wycc 2011
Overall, the Canadians have 82½ out of a possible 160, so 52%. Round by round, we scored 15½ points in round 1, 17 points in round 2, 23½ in round 3, and 26½ in round 4.
Stars are Olivier-Kenta Chiku-Ratte with 4 points in the U12 open, and Sergey Noritsyn, Qiyu Zhou, Michael Song, and Richard Wang with 3½ points. Another 6 players have 3 points.Last edited by John Coleman; Monday, 21st November, 2011, 12:56 PM. Reason: It would help if the numbers were correct!Comment

WYCC games from TWIC 889
This week's TWIC database has 25 of the Canadian games from the WYCC. You can dl a PGN and CBV from this link:
Canadian WYCC games in TWIC889
http://ottawarachessclub.pbworks.com.../48264408/WYCC games from TWIC889.7z
It seems TWIC is not including any games by players from the U12 or younger events. :(Last edited by John Upper; Monday, 21st November, 2011, 10:27 PM. Reason: found more games not attributed to CanadiansComment

Re: Wycc 2011
Probably http://www.chessmix.com will have all games in their next "issue" (Nov. 30).
Chessmix often has a different collection of games from TWIC; plus it has the first names of the players (a problem with TWIC, that I have complained to them about).Comment

Re: Wycc 2011
Congratulations! Awesome! I wonder if the coaching this year is a factor?Comment

Re: Wycc 2011
I would think so the coaching resources have been generally inadequate most years but this year's team has much more resourcesOriginally posted by Hans Jung View Post
( quantity and quality ). Other factors would be the location ( less Europeans ? ) and the fact we sent many young players this year, where Canada traditionally has the best chance to do well.Last edited by Duncan Smith; Thursday, 24th November, 2011, 09:01 PM.Comment

Re: Wycc 2011
It is always better to wait until all (or most) results are in before trying to evaluate them. Looking at how things stand before the 9th and final round, it seems that our good early results have faded away leaving no one in serious contention for a medal, and very few shots at top ten places.Originally posted by Hans Jung View Post
It would be unfair though to credit this to coaches "on site". There is only so much one can do during a tournament when there is no time to try to fix basic problems. The real important coaching stuff for players at that level takes place between events. In that respect, there is no doubt in my mind that most if not all of these yougsters are undercoached compared to players from other countries or not coached at all. That is the only way to explain why as a group they are not fighting for medals, and in most cases not even for a top ten spot.
If we consider these young players results as important for them and for canadian chess, a lot more support needs to be provided to them so that they perform up their full potential.Comment

Re : Wycc 2011
All the players from Quebec were coached a lot before this tournament. The results are not as good as some people hoped, but it is definitely not because of a lack of training between the tournaments. However, it is true that an important part of the training should be done in group, in order to create a good team spirit, which is very important. I believe this is why there will now be an ''Équipe Québec'', which will regroup all the young hopes and prepare them for such tournaments.Comment

Dark Knight / Le Chevalier Noir - General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
