Go USA!
What do you mean?
USA is going. It’s going away from Europe and towards Japan (continental drift)
You think it should go somewhere else?
Is there an English-language announcement?

Im Abed, the parent that is trying to get all of this done. Their is no official English language translation of the invitation. I am getting emails not only from Americans but also by Mexican nationals that are attempting to register in Mexico but the website that the Mexican Federation gives is not the right one.
For Americans, Canadians and the Bahamas to attend, they must register through their national chess federations.
Because the Mexican Chess Federation has a habit of not answering the phone when called, and this is because the Mexican nationals are relating this information to me, I would suggest they, Mexican nationals, call Mexico’s FIDE Delegate. His name is Mr. Florentino de Jesus Reyes Berlie.
For the Canadian, American and Bahamian delegations, Im sure they have the direct lines to reach the FENAMAC (Mexican Federation) through their own means.
As of this moment several people have called me, thanks to Susan’s post of our article. I have answered questions about Mexico being that we were in Mazatlan ourselves in July for vacations and it was a safe city. However, for Americans to register they must do it through Chuck Lovingood at the USCF.
