A memorable World Youth Chess Championship 2008
My howler stories aside, the World Youth 2008 was definitely a memorable experience. Players and arbiters were treated like VIPs. The event was so big it was highlighted on Vietnam’s national TV (live!) and even appeared in front page headlines in local newspapers. Tell me if you know any other country that gave such media coverage to chess.
Despite some hiccups I must say the event was very successful. I’m proud to be part of the event even if it was only a small part.
