Mac Molner
My name is Mackenzie Molner. I'm an International Master from New Jersey who currently lives in Arizona. As a junior I was frequently ranked as the country's top player in my age group. I won the Denker Tournament of Champions in 2004 and represented the US at the World Junior Championship that took place in Yerevan, Armenia in 2007. I earned the International Master title in 2010 and I'm currently trying to earn my last Grandmaster norm in order to earn the title.
