Canadian Youth Chess Championship The CYCC is a qualifier for the World Youth Chess Championships to be held in the fall of 2010.
Many extras are being planned for the 2010 CYCC. The events committee has so many excursions and side events planned that there won't be any time for chess! We would appreciate any suggestions you have that will help make the CYCC a success and an enjoyable event for you and your family.
Please contact us at jcoleman4@cogeco.ca
with your suggestions and sponsorship ideas. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2010 CYCC.
Sincerely,
John Coleman
