Very proud of my chess student Bach Ngo who made Master at age 11 at the World Open! Not surprised - Bach is a great talent and very dedicated to his chess. Even when waiting at the airport, a scheduled lesson should not be wasted. I am on the other side of the screen! Congratulations, Bach!

Amy Xing had her best tournament ever representing Florida at the SPF Girls Invitational in St Louis, MO. This is probably the strongest Girl Tournament in US, organized by Susan Polgar (right on the photo). Amy had a promissing start in R1, taking the lead against 2nd rated Marta Samadashvili (NY), 2270. For a long time, the game looked like an easy win for Amy, unfortunately, a few inaccuracies turned the events and Amy had to accept a loss. This didn't discouraged her however, she played real good chess and got 3.5 out of the remaining 5 rounds. A strong result! Congratulations, Amy!

Bach Ngo (in the middle) finished 2nd (again!) in the K-8 section of Florida State Championship, March 1-3, with 4.5 out of 5 points. Top 3 in Final Standings (from left): 1. Raghav Venkat, 2. Bach Ngo and 3. Vincent Stone. Bach is only a K5 but played one section up for the challenge - and for the Barber Tournament Invite in August - only the top 2 players qualify! Congratulations, Bach!
