Conquering US Women's Chess with IM Carissa Yip

034 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?
