The 2014 World Youth Chess Championships in Durban, South Africa, are from September 19th–30th. The US delegation has 70 players with a total of 163 people.
US coach GM Ben Finegold, who will be contributing some reports on the event, told CLO, "I arrived 3 days early, and I can tell it will be the best World Youth ever! Best hotel, best buffet, best view, and everyone I have met has been exceedingly nice and helpful. The trip was simply fantastic all the way from JFK to my hotel room on the Indian Ocean."
