Needing only a draw to clinch clear first, top seed Yang Dai (Virginia) still pushed hard for the win! Samyukta Bhat fought valiantly. The position was very close. But at the end, Yang emerged as the winner! Congratulations to a deserving champion!

Playing for a win when all was needed to claim the title was a draw, tells a lot about this kid. Congratulation and all the best for Yang Dai!
