Illinois Youth in USCF Top 100 -- July 2014
- Details
- Written by Bill Feldman Bill Feldman
With ascendancy above USCF ratings of 2000 for 14-year old Anshul Adve and 15-year old Jonathan Hrach, for the first time ever, Illinois has 15 junior experts and four masters (or greater) as of the official July listings. This quota comes despite the loss of Chengliang Luo who aged out of the 18-and-under report.
With Hanson Hao at 1999 and Jacob Furfine at 1996, it's likely this strong crew will soon have some additional company.
Anshul's rating climbed 92 points while Jonathan's was up 52. Dramatic increases also came from Martin Stukan (130) and Nikhil Kalghati (138). Others with strong USCF rating enhancements this month were Marissa Li (99), Jason Daniels (71), Akhil Kalghatgi (also 71), Alex Bian (61), Max Zinski (51) and George Li (40).
Returning to the lists were Rishi Narayanan, Bryce McClanahan, Arjun Nandy, Phillip Parker-Turner, Tom Bareket and Caeley Harihara.
Ratings as of June 18 were used to develop the lists which were published by the USCF July 24.
