As of August, Illinois now proudly hosts an amazing four 18-and-under Masters and 18 junior Experts.
Eight additional juniors have achieved ratings above 1950 in the current compilation so no doubt the above elites will soon have company.
15-year olds George Li (2294) Alex Bian (2220), 14-year old Jacob Furfine (2248) and 12-year old David Peng (2230) are the top-rated Illinois juniors on the current lists. Despite a multi-year hiatus from regular-rated chess, Penny Xu has returned to her perch as the top-rated Illinois female junior due to a slight ratings drop from others.
Seven juniors are in the top 10 of their respective age group: Alex Zhao (9th among 7 and unders), Arthur Xu (10th among 8 year olds), Aydin Turgut (5th among 10 year olds), David Peng (3rd among 12 year olds), Jacob Furfine (8th among 14 year olds), George Li (10th among 15 year olds) and Shreya Mangalam (6th among Girls Under 13).
