Hey ChessKids! Hope y'all are having a fantastic week.

Let's end this month on a good note by bringing in some exciting news from the CK universe!

International Title Winners!

At the North American Youth Chess Championship, 10-year-old NM Tani Adewumi won the "under 12 section" with a score of 8.0/9! Just a few months after becoming an NM, he has now earned the FM title -- the same title as FunMasterMike!

And at only 11 years old, WCM Alice Lee won the "girls under 18 section" with a score of 7.5/9! She will be awarded the WIM title for her victory!

We are in the process of confirming this, but she may be the youngest WIM in American history!

Congratulations on your amazing achievement, Tani and Alice! The ChessKid family is proud of both of you, and we are also very proud of NM Brewington Hardaway who fought a hard battle and placed 4th in the "under 12 section." Great job to everyone!

ChessKid North American Bullet Championships!
