世界青少年国际象棋锦标赛第一届比赛开始于1974年的法国,最初只设有18岁以下组,为非官方赛事。世界棋王Garry Kasparov曾经参加1976年的比赛。1977年被国际棋联授权为官方赛事。1981年参赛年龄设为16岁以下,同年增加了女子组比赛。随着参赛人数逐年增加,比赛开始增设组别,U18, U16, U14, U12, U10. 1997年世少赛更名为World Youth Chess Championship。2006年开始增加8岁以下组U8。2011年的比赛已有113个国家的1300多名选手参赛。

由于近几年世少赛参赛人数逐年增多,规模越来越大,从2016年起,世少赛被分为两个赛事, "World Cadets Chess Championship" (U8, U10 and U12) 和 "World Youth Chess Championship" (U14, U16 and U18)。国际棋联将世少赛分在两地举办。2018年, 8岁组、10岁组和12岁组的比赛将于11月在西班牙的Santiago举行。14岁组、16岁组和18岁组比赛则于10月安排在希腊进行。2018年西班牙世少赛网站www.wccc2018.com。2019年的World Cadets Chess Championship将首次在中国举行。世少赛每年由不同的国家棋协承办,2014年至2017年的World Cadets Chess Championship主办地分别为南非,希腊,和格鲁吉亚和巴西。


我院从2015年起,每年都有棋手入选美国国家队,更有小棋手入选美国全明星队,代表美国出征世少赛。2017年,7岁的Bryan Xie 参加了巴西世少赛8岁组比赛,获得了U8组的第十四名。经过又一年的训练,Bryan Xie目前等级分已突破2050,提前达到美国12岁男子组国家队的等级分要求,在美国8岁组排名全国第一。Bryan Xie今年将参加U10组的角逐。2018年西班牙世少赛,King’s Land Chess将有5名新老队员代表美国队参赛,预祝棋手们取得佳绩。美国棋协官方公布2018年国家队名单:
