Congratulations to Whitney Young freshman Aria Hoesley who made expert with her outstanding performance at the Tim Just Winter Open! The other three girls from Illinois with a USCF rating above 2000 are Shreya Mangalam (rated 2137), Marissa Li (rated 2061), and Miranda Liu (rated 2020).
There were big rating increases in the lower age categories. Just to name a few:
Rebecca Phillips (age 15) and Harshali Dhumal (age 7) joined the list for the first time. Well done!
The lists compiled by US Chess are based on ratings achieved and processed by the third Wednesday of the prior month, in this case January 17, 2019.
If you believe your daughter was inadvertently omitted from these lists, it may be due to US Chess rules regarding permission. If the player’s family cannot be contacted to confirm permission for using the name on one of these lists, the player is not listed.
