It's unofficial, but Michael Yang's USCF rating is now sitting at 2204, earning him the title of USCF Master! Michael also recently played in the Denker Tournament of High School Champions, finishing tied with several others for 4th place. Not bad for a kid who's only in 9th grade. Congratulations Michael!
