At Stiksen, we deeply admire the masters of chess who have dedicated their lives to this intricate game. Their ability to strategize, anticipate moves, and execute brilliant tactics inspires us. And when we noticed that one of these great chess players often used to wear caps when playing, we decided to ask her to make her own collection of Stiksen caps.

Carissa Yip is a remarkable chess player whose talent and dedication have earned her recognition in the chess world. She became the youngest female player to achieve the title of National Master in the U.S. at just 12 years old, showcasing her exceptional skills and deep understanding of the game at a young age. Since then, she has won the U.S. Chess Championship twice.

With her impressive achievements, Carissa is a role model for chess enthusiasts, demonstrating that with hard work and passion, anything is possible in the world of chess. We let Carissa design her own caps with the message 'MAKE BEAUTIFUL THINGS'. This is a phrase that Carissa lives by, as she is very much into beauty and creativity. We are proud to know she is now wearing Stiksen when planning her next move!
