Bryce’s older brother, Brett Wong, of Coalinga High School, also won the under 2050 section and $800.

Bryce and Brett have been the only two individual State Scholastic Chess Champions from the Central Valley, Lopez said, and have been instrumental in contributing to Coalinga’s 16 Chess State Championships.

The tournament, held at the DoubleTree Convention Center in downtown Fresno, hosted players from the Bay Area, Southern California and as far away as Texas.
