[edit] Titles

Current FIDE regulations which seem to have last been amended in 2004 grant GM and WGM titles to the winners. Whyld 1986 says that IM and WIM titles are awarded to the winners, so it seems that the rules changed between 1986 and 2004. Does anyone know when the change occurred so that we can put the information into the article? Quale 07:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC) It looks like it might have been after 1992, since our page on Pablo Zarnicki, the 1992 U-20 champion, says he became a GM in 1994. There is similar confirmation in 1990 with Ilya Gurevich. Quale 07:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1995 Championship in Halle

Apparently the 1995 Championship was held in Halle, but which Halle? WikiPedia has several places with that name. Does anyone know which is correct so that we can replace the link to the disambig with the corect link? Quale 12:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1983 U20 Girls

According to [1] and [2] Fliura Khasanova won the first Junior U20 for girls in 1983, but our list starts from 1985. Here is another link confirming that there where champinships in 1983 and 1984 [3]. Could anyone check this? Voorlandt 13:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1986 U20 Girls

According the US site about Baginskaite and old chess magazine articles about Ildiko Madl, this Championship took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, while the boys U20 played in Gausdal. I will try to find links or quotes for this. --Gereon K. (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1982 and Agnieszka Brustman

This article says the girls U-20 began in 1983, but Agnieszka Brustman says she won in 1982. Is this a contradiction, and can we resolve it? Quale (talk) 03:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
