Led by 16-year old George Li and 13-year old David Peng, Illinois boasts seven junior USCF Masters as of the November 2016 published ratings. 12-year old Aydin Turgut, along with Jacob Furfine, Alex Bian, Spencer Lehmann, Jonathan Hrach fill out the magnificent seven.
Seven is also the magic number for 13-year olds and 16-year olds in the top 100 (whereas one might expect only four based on population). Our class of 15-year olds goes one better with eight, led by Furfine.
New names in the top 100's this month include 7-year olds Michael Li and Liam Murray who have both broken the 1000-mark.
On the cusp of hitting the 2200 mark are Vincent Do at 2198, Anshul Adve with 2194 (previously above 2200 last month), Matthew Stevens at 2181, and Nicholas Bartochowski at 2172.
