Dennis Monokroussos in 2017 U.S. Junior Championship

Awonder Liang recently became a grandmaster (or at least earned the title; it won't be awarded to him until later this year) at the tender age of 14 years and a month, making him the second-youngest U.S. grandmaster ever. His latest success was victory in the U.S. Junior Championship, coming from behind to pass Kayden Troff in the last round. Congrats to Awonder!
