On June 29th, the BCC held its Legends of Chess tournament to honor Emanuel Lasker, one of the all-time legends of the game. It is in the spirit of greatness that the most memorable tournaments are held, and this was no exception:

| Greatness in our midst! With 2.5/4 Saturday, good enough for 4-8th in the Open, Carissa Yip became the YOUNGEST GIRL IN USCF HISTORY TO REACH EXPERT, at the age of nine! Here, she plays LM Hal Terrie, who would tie for 2-3rd in the Open with 3/4. In the background, Michelle Chen plays rising star Brandon Wu. |
