Despite tournament activity, Illinois girls in the lower age groups did not see big shifts in their US chess ranking over the last month.
Josephine Swan from Chicago made the top 100 list for 9 year olds for the first time with a rating of 941. Way to go, Josephine!
With her four draws against higher-rated players in the Cleveland Open last month, Shreya Mangalam managed to gain almost 20 rating points and now ranks 4th in the country for girls aged 14.
Miranda Liu has also moved up — from age 15 to age 16. Happy Birthday, Miranda! While she has not played since April, she improved her US ranking by two spots (from 7th place to 5th place).
The same is true for Bethany Simos who did not play in a tournament last month but rose from 17th to 15th spot in the country. Happy 18th, Bethany!
Overall, 47 appear on one of the Top 100 lists for their respective age group nationwide, with ten young ladies in the top 20.
The lists are based on ratings achieved and processed by the third Wednesday of the prior month, in this case August 16, 2017.
If you believe your child should be listed — and is not — it may be due to US Chess rules regarding permission. They attempt to contact the players' family to confirm permission before using the names on the lists. If they are unable to make contact, the player is not listed.
