The 2001 World Junior Chess Championship (824 words)
Chess is the obvious activity which combines mental practice with sports, as it is a wisely constructed game which demands the abilities of correct prognosis, combinational thought as well as great amounts of patience, discipline, intuition and courage.
The sport of chess is based on the sharpness and complexity of the mind and it organizes not only the awareness but also the actions of people, mainly the younger generation, thus giving youth the necessary supplies for a successful and balanced development of their personalities in all aspects of social life.
The World Juniors are especially important in the FIDE Calendar as they assist us as Chess Administrators in determining the future direction of our sport through the activities of our Champions of the future.
