The 2013 edition of the French Junior Championships was played from April 28th until May 5th at Saint Paul Trois Chateux.
There were seven age categories both for boys and girls. All the groups were played with a time control of 90 minutes for the whole game and 30 seconds increments per move.
The championship finished on Sunday with a beautiful closing ceremony. Previously, an exciting round finished, full of unpredictable twists and turns.
The major of Saint-Paul-Trois Châteaux, Jean-Michel Catelinois, together with the FFE president Diego Salazar and other authorities, presented the winners and their prizes. At the end of the ceremony, the 2014 edition to be held in Montbéliard was announced.
