Brooklyn’s own Jessica Hyatt, aka the “Queen Slayer,” just made history as the youngest Black woman to earn the National Master title in chess! After going undefeated at the Detroit Institute of Arts and notching wins against grandmasters like Michael Rohde and Abhimanyu Mishra, Hyatt is now the highest-rated African American female player. Her epic draw against top-seeded Liya Kurmangaliyeva at the World Youth Championship proves she’s a rising star to watch. Is she the future of American chess? #Sports #ChessQueen #JessicaHyatt
