Talk:World Amateur Chess Championship

1995 Revamp
In the article it says that the championship was discontinued after 1928. However, it seems to be revamped in 1995. I don't have time nor resources to work on this. However, I got some partial results (not always very reliable), so I post them here and hopefully somebody can complete the list and incorporate it in the article:

The results of the Open section are almost complete now. Just the 1996 tournament (first of the renewed tournament) is missing.

 * I just added the 1996 winner, now only the silver and bronze medallists of 1996 and 1998 are missing. Sophia91 (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

categories
This was for 2017 edition ''There will be separate championships for categories Under-2300, Under-2000 and Under-1700. In each rating section, a separate championship for women shall be organized only if there are at least 10 women entries from at least 2 continents. Otherwise the women’s event will be merged with men (open). '' from http://www.crochess.com/?p=10423

This current list is missing categories and women competition (at least information whether or not it was held). Setenzatsu (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * There has been three separate categories since 2016 (as I added in the article back in 2016; I haven't took a look at this entry since then) and winners of all categories should be indeed all mentioned. I agree the women's winners should be included, and I think the women's champions should replace the 2nd and 3rd finishers. After all the winners of the women's championships get the champion title, unlike the silver and bronze medalists in the open sections. Sophia91 (talk) 00:10, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
