Chess battles of the FIDE World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships are now over, it’s time to celebrate the victories!

The World Youth Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk have come to an end. The fanfare for the six new champions from five different countries quieted down, and the time has come to meet those people who were – not exactly in a shadow, but virtually on the other side of your monitor: the press center team.

The final round of junior championships often becomes a formality, just making official what has already been known. Not this time, though!

Press-conferences with the winners of the FIDE World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk.

With one round to go, only one player, Semen Lomasov from Russia, is guaranteed the first place – he cannot be surpassed in the Open 14 category.

The World Youth Championships in Khanty-Mansiysk are quickly coming to an end. Only a few players still have hopes for the medals; other participants as well as their coaches and parents can enjoy some free time.
