034 Conquering US Women's Chess with IM Carissa Yip
Sep 13, 2022
Carissa is a shining star.
The youngest American woman to earn the IM title.
Winner of the 2021 US Women’s Championship.
Top-ranked female US player in 2019.
If that weren’t enough, Carissa is the youngest female ever to beat a Grandmaster (she did so at age ten.)
Even with so many accomplishments, Carissa remains humble and down-to-Earth.
And she has a great sense of humor.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What caused her sudden rating climb?
- The ups and downs of her 5-year journey to win the US Women’s Championship.
- Her first-ever experience competing in the 2002 Chess Olympiad.
- Will she try to earn the GM title while in college?
