The program has helped develop several American chess prodigies from across the country, including the likes of GM Jeffery Xiong and GM Sam Sevian. Students have been capped off with individualized training sessions with Kasparov\u2019s coaching staff and special training sessions with Garry Kasparov himself. This was an installment of the Global Young Stars program, an you can find applications for future sessions here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"sg7BORqLKC\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?p=815\">Young Stars Program goes Global<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Young Stars Program goes Global&#8221; &#8212; \" src=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?p=815&#038;embed=true#?secret=LfI0LfgEkX#?secret=sg7BORqLKC\" data-secret=\"sg7BORqLKC\" width=\"540\" height=\"304\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The latest of the Young Stars camp brought forward a talented new generation. This KCF camp was the first serious training session for some of the players present, and it gives them new opportunities to jump start their game. Held at the KCF offices in Manhattan, students came from as far as California and even Russia! We anticipate more students from other continents to be a part of the program in future editions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?attachment_id=943\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-943\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-943\" src=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AbhimanyuMishra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AbhimanyuMishra.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AbhimanyuMishra-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>World&#8217;s number one nine year old player: Abhimanyu Mishra from New Jersey <a href=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?attachment_id=944\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-944\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-944\" src=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/nicoC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/nicoC.jpg 400w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/nicoC-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>Nico Chasin from New York: Bronze medalist of the 2018 World Cadets Championship u-12<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?attachment_id=941\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-941\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-941\" src=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6683.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6683-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6683-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6683-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kasparov Chess Foundation director and FIDE Vice President\u00a0Michael Khodarkovsky along with Garry Kasparov<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/?attachment_id=942\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-942\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-942\" src=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6690.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6690.jpg 5184w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6690-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6690-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kasparovchessfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IMG_6690-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s participants: on the left Rochelle Wu (California), Abhimanyu Mishra (New Jersey), Christopher Yoo (California), Brandon Jacobson, (New Jersey).
