I will keep this report short and will highlight only three players whose rating changes were very impressive:
Last month, 7-year old Olivia Lee was ranked #80 among girls of her age in the US with a rating of 610. She gained over 100 rating points and her new rank is 48.
Angela Hu, 8 years old, shot up from 818 to 972 and improved her nationwide ranking from 57 to 35.
Sophia Ziyan Zhao has been steadily making progress since she played her first tournament a year ago. The 11-year old reached a rating of 1000 in April, 1200 in June, 1300 in July and 1400 in August, after beating two 1500s at the CCC Plus Score #45. The current US Chess Top 100 Lists have her sitting at 1317 (rank 51) on the cut-off date, up from 1206 (rank 71) last month.
Congratulations and keep up the great work.
Last but not least: Happy belated birthday to all those, who moved up one age group since the lists were last published: Linda Pham, Sophia Pashyan, Alice Fan, Ashley Yan, Lizzy Brahin, and Marissa Li.
