The CFC Regular Chess Post – August 21/13 – Can. NAYCC Champions. The tournament was played in Toronto from Wed., Aug. 14 - Sun., Aug. 18. It was 9 rounds (originally was to be 7 rounds, but the astute organizer, Chess ‘n Math Association, got FIDE permission to go to 9 rounds!), thus allowing for FIDE titles to be won. SECTIONS (age as of Jan 1, 2013): Under 8 years old, under 10, under 12, under 14, under 16, under 18. Open and Girls sections. From the NAYCC FB page (https://facebook/naycc2013) - "Record turnout" of over 350 players from Canada, USA, Haiti, Costa Rica, and Mexico to the 2013 NAYCC all vying for the coveted IM/WIM, FM/WFM, and CM/WCM titles. See some pictures there by “official” NAYCC photographer, Victoria Jung-Doknjas (also some pictures posted by CFC Canada Chess News editor, John Upper, on CMA Chesstalk, under NAYCC thread). Official Website: chess-math.org/toronto/naycc/standings.php Canada got 3 North American YCC Champions: U 14 Open – Yuanchen Zhang (unsure if title won) U 10 Open – Sergey Noritsyn (unsure if title won).
