The most recent lists include 46 young ladies from Illinois with eleven of them ranking in the top 20.
Nandini Prakash and Hili Bareket continued to gain rating points and both climbed 4 ranks in the “Age 7 and Under” list. Second-grader Saruul Ann Uuganbayar, who has only been playing tournament chess for six months, made her first appearance on the list — congratulations!
Eight-year old Siri Chennareddy can also be proud of her achievements, advancing from rank 72 to rank 41 in one month. Niyathi Girish is another newcomer on the list. Well done!
Also new on the list of Illinois girls age 9 is Merrill Lee whose rating was 987 in October and continues to rise.
Higher ratings in the group of 11-year olds were achieved by Alice Fan and Sruthi Bharath Kumar, making Alice the 36th best and Sruthi the 46th best in the country.
Margarita Tsyganova (age 12), Aria Hoesley (age 13) and Ashley Mai Yan (age 13) likewise posted rating improvements over the previous month.
With Jade Bates a year older and above 1100 for the first time, the Top 100 Age 15 group now includes four juniors from this state, with Marissa Li in 5th place boasting an amazing rating of 2100.
5th place is also the rank of Miranda Liu (age 16). Her peer, Emma Wang, who had first reached 1900 in the previous month, continues to improve.
Congratulations to all of the girls featured in the lists below, which are based on ratings achieved and processed by the third Wednesday of the prior month, in this case October 18, 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.
