CCL now has 4 players who have qualified for the 2012 World Youths! They are Maggie, Chris, Meghana, and Emily! Luke got his rating up to 1895 last weekend which means that he only needs 5 more rating points to qualify.

Maggie Feng earned her National Experts title last weekend in Pittsburg, playing in 16th Annual Pittsburg Open. She came in tied for 1st in the U-2100 section. This result gained her 50 rating points, bringing her rating up to 2012 (no I did not put the year in by mistake). Not only is Maggie now a National Expert, she is the only female National Expert in her age group in the whole country. She has also become only the 3rd CCL graduate in CCL history, joining both Walker and John to achieve our own special CCL award. Congratulations to some very special achievements by this amazing young chess player.
