28 IL Players Show 100+ Point Rating Bumps in November

 

David Cruz raised his rating an amazing 406 points playing in a series of small tournaments. 

Tournaments posted to US Chess from September 22 through October 19 were considered, counting towards October and November "official" ratings.

Nicholas Kim, although registered in Illinois, and having played in the Greater Chicago and Illinois K-8 Championships earlier this year, apparently has moved to New York state... and in three October tournaments raised his official rating 340 points (before dropping in a fourth event). Good luck in New York, Nicholas!

Andre Zhao raised his rating 336 points from success in the Midwest Class and in a dual-rated Knight's Quest.

All totalled, 28 players achieved rating increases of more than 100 points between October and November official ratings. See table below.

Keep it up, Illinois!
