YESUN LEE BECOMES A WFM (FIDE WOMAN"S MASTER)

I am very excited to announce another first for a Weibel Chess student. Yesun Lee, who just graduated Weibel, is our first student, boy or girl, to win an international tournament. Yesun placed a clear first in the 2019 North American Chess Championship held in Ontario, Canada this past week. This victory earned her the FIDE Women’s Master title. Last year, she was the highest ranked chess student of all our Weibel chess players.

I am so proud of her that I am at a loss for words. Anyone who knows me will have trouble believing I could ever be speechless. Of course, I am also very proud of our coaches, parents, Weibel staff who have contributed not only to her success, but to the success of all the Weibel chess students whether they are on our competitive Team or playing skilled chess in our Club program.
