The new Top 100 lists are out and again Illinois’ highest achievers are our three female experts – Shreya Mangalam, Miranda Liu, and Marissa Li – occupying ranks 5, 6 and 9, respectively, for their age groups. Closely behind is 1959-rated Aria Hoesley, the 10th best 14-year girl in the country, and four other Class A players: Ashley Yan, Emma Wang, Natalie Wisniowski and Shayna Provine.
Eight-year old Fox Valley Chess Club member Nandini Prakash has moved up to rank 5 in the country with a new personal best of 1554. Both Nandini (from Naperville) and aforementioned WCM Natalie (from Chicago) represented the U.S. in the World Cadet Championship in Spain earlier this month (cf. the separate ICA article).
Nisha Salian also deserves to be mentioned: After her excellent performance at the most recent Knights Quest, Nisha is now a solid 1400 player and leads our Age-11 group, followed by Anisha Oberai, who improved her rating from 1287 to 1333 over last month.
Many girls saw rating jumps at the Midwest Class, for example, Margarita Tsyganova, Layla Rodriguez and Linda Pham, who all played in the 1300–1699 section. With a 99-point rating gain, Margarita is currently at the top of the Age-13 category, moving up 9 ranks and overtaking Sarah Lin. The biggest improvement, however, was achieved by her peer Louisa Zhang, who went into the tournament with a 1064 rating and came out with a 1229 rating after winning her section undefeated!
Congratulations to all!
