The 2008 Pan-Am Youth Championship is held in Cordoba, Argentina from June 29 to July 6, 2008. A number of our players and their parents were not able to get to the playing site of the 2008 Pan-Am Youth timely due to the weather, especially in Buenos Aires. Some are just able to get on the plane to get to Cordoba now.
Fortunately, the organizer delayed the beginning of the championships to accommodate many players and their coaches who are stuck.
Good luck to everyone! I will also be heading to Argentina next week.
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Good Job in reporting about this important tournament and the problems that our 24 players with parents have faced to arrive. We have been reporting since the entire problem started. Also their are logistial problems by the Argentinian Federation due to the location, but surely that will get fixed.
Take good care of yourself Susan since they are reporting major fog over the region until Wednesday.
