Hi all,

On behalf of Fiona Petrie, looking for expressions of interest for the World Youth Chess Championships in Halkidiki, Greece from 19th to 31st of October 2018. Age categories are U14, U16 & U18 - Open & Girls. The competition deadline for registration is the 20th of August so we are setting a cut-off for Scottish expressions of interest of 1st of August, which is the same as the cut-off set for World Cadets.

I have already noted 1-2 expressions of interest for this competition already. Anybody interested, please get in touch with me. On collation of all expressions of interest, Fiona and Andy Howie will approve any selection decisions that are made with regard to who the 'invited' places go to.

Information on the tournament is here:
