Ng and Shen Take 1st and 2nd in Cadets

New Jersey's Andrew Ng took first place in the 2009 U.S. Cadet Championship, July 7-10 in Crossville, Tennessee. Close behind was fellow NJ rising star Victor Shen, who won a grueling 150 move game against NM Rohan Agarwal to claim sole possession of 2nd place.
