US Chess is pleased to announce the list of players who are officially invited to participate in the 2023 World Youth (Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18) and 2023 World Cadet (Under 8, Under 10 and Under 12) Chess Championships.

These students earned this honor by meeting the peak post-tournament (PPT) rating and activity criteria in their age and gender categories according to the Scholastic National Invitational Event and Award Requirements.

The top players by PPT rating in each age category are considered the United States Official Representatives (OR) by FIDE, the World Chess Federation, but all USA players may compete in these events as part of the US Chess delegation. Additionally, players may qualify as Personal Rights (PR) players, subject to organizer's regulations.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

There are currently no details (at the time of publishing this article) regarding either the 2023 World Youth, or 2023 World Cadet Chess Championships other than if held, they will be in Montesilvano, Italy for the 2023 World Youth and Egypt for the 2023 World Cadet.

However, should these events be held, you should note that both the World Youth and World Cadet Championships are open tournaments and any US Chess member who meets the age and eligibility requirements may participate, but they will be responsible for all financial obligations needed to do so. A player's age for these tournaments is his/her age as of Jan. 1, 2023.
