State Champion Aryan Balyan is pictured on the right.
CCLian Aryan Balyan, who is only in 8th grade, came in sole 1st place in the State of Ohio G/45 championship held last December 26th. It is very unusual for such a young player to win an open/adult state championship.
Sneha Prabu and Matt Wang came in a 2-way tie for 1st place in the U-1600 section while Naga Sankula came in 2nd place in the U-1200 section.
