109 Illinois Players Increase Ratings 150+ Points in March

 

Congratulations to Abhiram Karnatapu of the Bloomington Normal area for having the highest ratings differential in Illinois from February to March! Abhiram was one of 10 Illinois players with ratings bumps of 300 points or more!

Abhiram has never been an official member of US Chess but has played three scholastic tournaments in 2017 under the auspices of the Bloomington Normal Area Scholastic Chess group. Under the US Chess JTP Program, players are allowed to compete in certain rated events without an official membership through third grade. This program is designed to allow young players to sample rated chess without having to incur the burden of membership dues.

We certainly hope that this news encourages young Mr. Karnatapu to keep it up with chess!

This month Illinois saw 109 players with ratings increases of more than 150!

Also with 300-point bumps were Zalan Gyorgy, Vivann Reddy, Nicholas Lai, Daniel Espinosa, Siddharth Bhumpelli, Cameron Pitts, Manu Gadhiraju, Jonkee Lee, and Siri Chennareddy.
