Podium Finishes for CHESSanity Alumni at the 2017 World Cadets Chess Championship

9/1/2017

1 Comment

 
At the 2017 edition of the World Cadets Championships in Pocos de Caldas, Brazil, CHESSanity boasted three alumni (Liran Zhou, Ellen Wang, and Lisa Jin) representing Team USA.  

Of America's 7 total medalists, CHESSanity is proud to pronounce two of them as former students. NM Liran Zhou (see our article about his record-breaking achievement here) took gold in the U10 Open section, scoring an astonishing 9.5/11 without a loss! Ellen also scored impressively, tallying 7.5/11 to take bronze in the U10 Girls section on tiebreaks. Lisa fought hard, but settled for a 27th-place finish in the same section with 5.5/11, losing the heart-breaking final two rounds. 

We are honored to have once coached these three talented young children. We hope many more medals are to come!
