Talk:World Junior Chess Championship

Titles
Current FIDE regulations which seem to have last been amended in 2004 grant GM and WGM titles to the winners. Whyld 1986 says that IM and WIM titles are awarded to the winners, so it seems that the rules changed between 1986 and 2004. Does anyone know when the change occurred so that we can put the information into the article? Quale 07:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC) It looks like it might have been after 1992, since our page on Pablo Zarnicki, the 1992 U-20 champion, says he became a GM in 1994. There is similar confirmation in 1990 with Ilya Gurevich. Quale 07:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

1995 Championship in Halle
Apparently the 1995 Championship was held in Halle, but which Halle? WikiPedia has several places with that name. Does anyone know which is correct so that we can replace the link to the disambig with the corect link? Quale 12:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

1983 U20 Girls
According to and  Fliura Khasanova won the first Junior U20 for girls in 1983, but our list starts from 1985. Here is another link confirming that there where champinships in 1983 and 1984. Could anyone check this? Voorlandt 13:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

1986 U20 Girls
According the US site about Baginskaite and old chess magazine articles about Ildiko Madl, this Championship took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, while the boys U20 played in Gausdal. I will try to find links or quotes for this. --Gereon K. (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

1982 and Agnieszka Brustman
This article says the girls U-20 began in 1983, but Agnieszka Brustman says she won in 1982. Is this a contradiction, and can we resolve it? Quale (talk) 03:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The Polish Wikipedia article says that 1982 was inofficial, but does not quote a source. User:Pjahr might know the answer. --Gereon K. (talk) 21:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have found a reference from the British chess magazine. Doesn't say a word about being unofficial, so I added it to our list. Voorlandt (talk) 12:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Also given (as officially as the others) in Guinness Chess: The Records - not sure how we missed it before. Brittle heaven (talk) 12:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)


 * "Szachy" 6-7/1982 p. 153: "Jugosławia od kilku lat specjalizuje się w turniejach juniorek. W latach 1977-1981 pięciokrotnie rozgrywano tu mistrzostwa Europy, a rok bieżący zapoczątkował Puchar Świata dla tej kategorii zawodniczek. Impreza ta będąca równoznaczną z mistrzostwami świata juniorek rozegrana została w miejscowości Senta w dniach 25 IV - 7 V 1982r." It's clear that tournament was World Cup not World Championship, equal to World Championship but official World Cup (is it the same that is up to you...) pjahr (talk) 21:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

1991 U20
Could you please make up your mind? In a table: 9 1991 Mamaja Bojkovic, Natasa Yugoslavia, below: '''1991 - Mamaia, Romania - Girls U-20 - 1. Anna-Maria Botsari (GRE) 2. Natasa Bojkovic (YUG) 3. Maja Koen (BUL). ''' So? pjahr (talk) 21:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Resolved. The names seem to have got transposed somehow. Brittle heaven (talk) 14:44, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Pre-WW2 Titles
At this link: http://www.keverelchess.com/bruce-rowena-mary-1915-1999/ I found a short piece of information about a pretty long series of World Junior Championship sponsored by FIDE in pre World War II years. I assume the original source to be a contemporary issue of the British Chess Magazine. Only the complete result of the 1935 Girls Junior (10th edition!) won by Rowena Mary Bruce is available at the afore-mentioned link, while it is also reported that two previous unspecified editions were won by Vera Menchik. This is the first time I've heard of such competitions and is a completely new field of research. Any more info? --Sdrumovic (talk) 10:57, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
