Rules & Themes
The 9th YCCC 2024 is open to the U23 generation (born 2002 or later), matching the age limit for juniors in the WFCC solving competitions (WCSC, ECSC, ISC). This year YCCC has one section with strict thematic condition (A – #2) and two sections without set themes (B – endgame studies and C – all kinds of compositions except orthodox endgames). Each participant may send one entry per section. Joint works are not accepted.
Overall standings and prizes
According to the overall standings, the five most successful composers from five different countries (the best one from each country) will be rewarded with 500 Euros vouchers for the expenses of taking part in the World Congress of Chess Composition & World Chess Solving Championship 2026, or for the European Chess Solving Championship 2026.
