Top Increases Reflected in October Official Ratings

 

Yuvraj Chennareddy and William Olafsson were the two top Illinois-registered players on the rise with late-August through Mid-September activity in 2016.

Yuvraj, a Chicago youth, had an amazing enhancement from his September CCC Scholastic, winning four games and losing only one. His solid performance in the recent Midwest Class proved that rating was no fluke. (Sister Siri also made the list!)

William Olafsson posted a 4.5/6 in the Reserve Section of the September Illinois Open to help enhance his rating over 300 points in a month.

Sruthi Kumar and Emery Waterhouse also posted ratings increases above 250. 

Approximately 50 Illinois players upped their ratings more than 100 points in the month. That list is posted below.
