USCS student Justus Williams wins the 2013 United States Cadet Championship
Justus Williams has garnered a lot of attention for his recent appearance in the hit documentary Brooklyn Castle. In the recent U.S. Cadet Championship, an elite tournament for the nation's top players under age 16, Justus proved that the hype was justified.
He won against another recent US Chess School camper, Michael William Brown, in a tiebreak match. And for the first time in U.S. Cadet Championship history, all eight players in the tournament were past participants in U.S. Chess School. Congratulations to Justus, and we look forward to seeing more of our alumni achieving great heights in their chess careers. Read more |
