Results are in at the 2010 Pan American Youth Championship in Bento Gonçalves, Brazil (August 1-8)! Tommy He earned the Open Under 10 gold medal with 7.5/9 while Jonathan Chiang earned a bronze in the same section with 7/9. Evan Xiang tied for first with 8/9 in the Girls Under 12, taking silver on tiebreaks.

The experience should be very valuable for those who are participating in the World Youth, coming up in Halkidiki, Greece from October 19-31. Coach FM Aviv Friedman said the team had a lot of fun, "It is Brazil after all!" Friedman, and IM Armen Ambartsoumian, who also coached the team, are both FIDE Senior trainers.
