Ages 7, 9 and 16 each have three Illinois players ranked in the US Top 30's. All totalled, 51 youth are on one of the Top 100's.
Eight Illinois players are in the Top 10 of their respective age group, with Aren Emrikian (7), Dimitar Mardov (9), and David Peng (14) all one spot away from highest honors.
Four females are on the lists irrespective of gender.
A remarkable 24 players are at 2000 or above this month -- with Edward Zhang and Rishi Narayanan within 10 rating points of that distinction.
Generally, a rating of 2000 places a player in the top 4% of the nation's tournament players -- and the top 1.5% of junior players.
Illinois has eight juniors above 2200 this month, with both Vincent Do and Anshul Adve also within 10 points of that mark. Both Vincent and Anshul have previously been above 2200, earning Master tites. A 2200-rating is generally among the top 1.5% of all players and top 0.5% of all US juniors.
Sadly, Illinois was shut out in the Age 11 category this month. Let's go 11 year olds!
