The annual Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) is the most prestigious youth chess competition in Canada organized under the auspices of the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC). It is also a pathway to all international youth chess competitions that determines official representatives for the World Youth Chess Championship (WYCC), the Pan American Youth Chess Championship, and the North American Youth Chess Championship.
The Waterdown Chess Club CYCC Qualifier provides an opportunity for those who want to compete in this prestigious competition.
Please note that while all are welcome to play in the WCC qualifier, in accordance with the rules set forth by the CYCC, only those players who place in the TOP 50% will be eligible to compete in the 2020 CYCC held in July.
