The following players have qualified to play in the 2007 World Youth Chess Championship currently scheduled for November 17-29 in Antalya, Turkey. The top players by rating in each age category are considered the official representatives. Players may qualify to represent the United States by being established as one of the three highest rated candidates by peak post-tournament rating in the previous 12 months ending with events included in the April Rating Supplement. They may also qualify by being within 50 rating points or less from the third qualifying spot. A player may also qualify by personal right by achieving a medal at the World Youth in the previous year or by achieving a Gold Medal at the previous Pan American Youth Festival. Qualifying by personal right this year from the 2006 Pan American Youth is Elliott Liu. Congratulations to all the players who qualified! The coaches currently scheduled for this year’s team include Aviv Friedman – Head of Delegation, Michael Khodarkovsky, Joel Benjamin, Sergey Kudrin, and Armen Ambartsoumian. Additional information about the 2007 World Youth Chess Championships will be announced on the USCF website as soon as it becomes available.
