Jennifer yu deserves at least an honorable mention. She is a 7th grader that beat 2 masters,(both former state champions) and holds a scholarship worthy 2068 rating because of her performance in the state championships! She is a true testament to the possibilities chess holds for those willing to study and work at this game!
