2011 North American Youth Chess Championship

The 2011 North American Youth Chess Championship started on Sunday June 25 in scenic Tarrytown, NY.  A number of Bay Area kids, including Weibel's Alisha Chawla, are competing in this tournament.  This is an international tournament, FIDE-rated, with 264 participants from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda taking part.  The top player in each section (and there are numerous sections - U8, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18 for both Open and Girls) will earn the FIDE Candidate Master title.




UPDATE: FINAL STANDINGS.  Alisha ended up with 3.5 out of 7.  Leyton Ho and Vignesh Panchanatham both ended up with draws and came up just a bit short for 1st place and the coveted CM FIDE title.  So, after 7 rounds, results for the Northern California participants:

U8 Girls
Estella Wong (1042) 5.0 (tied for 3rd)
Chenyi Zhao (1207) 4.5
Selena Wong (940) 4.0
