She’s also a world champion in chess for girls under 14, a title she picked up a couple weeks ago in South Africa.

“Becoming world champion has been my dream for a really long time,” she said.

For the Russian men’s team, meanwhile, it was another inglorious chapter in their recent history, as they failed to make it onto the podium. Here at chess24 we decided to compare both schools, looking at the success they’ve already achieved and taking a look at their major future talents.

If you would have told me three months ago that in October I would be going to the 2014 World Junior Chess Championship in Pune, India(October 5-20) as the USCF official representative, I would have simply stared at you in disbelief, but dreams do come true! As a 16-year old teen with a peak USCF rating of 2106, at times I pinch myself as I realize that there are girls more deserving and higher rated than myself to attend this tournament, but the awesomeness of American chess is that we all have the opportunity to earn the right of representing our country.
