We congratulate these young players: Justin Ching, Forest Song, Amy Su, Gabriella Su, Yang Xu, Jasmine Yan, Lionel Zhang, and Ricky Zhao. Five of these players studied with Feng Yun in an intensive workshop in New Jersey during the summer. Workshops like this are by invitation only to Feng Yun's better students. If you are interested in participating in such a workshop in 2013, then please contact Feng Yun.
