Some years ago the title was chenged to the World Youth Championships and then FIDE changed the entry qualifications to one endorsed player and any number of others as Garvin says. As far as Australia is concerned, this is the major junior event in the world. This year the team is very small but I don't know why. In the past selections have been made and competition has been very keen especially for the endorsed place in each group. The team has been very large and we have enjoyed some success, especially with Bobby Cheng last year and Raymond Song some years ago to mention but two. The winner of an age group is the World Champion for that group.<br /><br />DJDenis Jessopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14539885.post-91474154527790718412010-10-21T23:32:44.056+09:002010-10-21T23:32:44.056+09:00Each national federation gets to select one person...Each national federation gets to select one person who gets free accommodation and entry.
