WORLD JUNIOR CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TURKEY AND THE WORLD JUNIOR GIRLS CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS IN TURKEY 2008

This post will be updated on a daily basis as the tournament goes..from round 8 on. All the results of rounds 1-7 can be found on this link… https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/world-junior-chess-championships-2008/ on my blog. I will use two colours for the different sections…green for the Juniors and blue for the Girls section. The two images will help you with the sections of the blog post. The “newspaper” image in the top-half…is the indication that it’s the girls-section and the “Turkey”-newspaper (which is not a real newspaper) is for the Juniors section. As soon as the results of each round is available, I will update the post. Meanwhile, you can follow the link to the Official site. All images of players and results/standings etc. will be from the Official site too.
