I've been a big fan and member of the St Louis Chess Club but have not been able to swing by in years and unfortunately missed this historic event.

Sam is currently the youngest US grandmaster in history at 13 years 10 months and 27 days.
I've been following Sam for about 3 years after I watched him beat an IM in a speed chess game...he was highly excited that he was going to win and was nearly jumping out of his seat that he was going to win. The game was just for a fun but it was a sweet moment. I don't know much about Sam but he's one of the 10 or so juniors I keep an eye on and just wanted to post a big congrats to him and hopefully give him some recognition for those on here who are not familiar with him.
