Not wishing to throw a spanner in the works but as it only goes up to U14 I think he might be disqualified. Anyway he is too good he spotted my f7xf6 was illegal :-(

details of the England team going to the European Youth Championships (which is indeed a different event from the EU Youth) are at http://englishchess.org.uk/Juniors/meet ... pionships/

Sam is indeed going to the Europeans (not the EU...) - as is Katherine Shepherd (as David was too modest to mention).
