Naomi Bashkansky (Seattle area) just won the top section at the 3rd Annual North American All-Girls Chess Championships! In addition to the big trophy, she also won a $52,000 scholarship to Webster University! Congratulations!

The $52,000 scholarship award to Webster University, as a ratio to the trip cost, made it ~ 100 times return on investment ;-)


The weekend trip to Bay Area was a lot of fun for the three of us, here are our two daily Google Photos albums as proof:
