  • U12 fever

    The latest FIDE rating list is out so I played around with some stats. There are 48 kids in the World with a FIDE rating at or above 2000. Interestingly, the highest rated player, from Germany, will only turn 11 this year (ie birth year 2004). Our own Nicholas Vettese stands 5th among the kids born in 2004, 11th overall.

    Re: U12 fever

    I was talking to someone in Florida recently and he mentioned chess is getting popular as part of the school activities in the states nowadays.
    I'm hoping it will be the same here also. There are some schools in my area that has a chess program.
    I think it is great to involve young kids in chess.

      10 months later and Alireza Firouzja is clearly the creme de la creme of Hal's list of 48. His rating currently sits at 2455 and he's highlighted in ChessBase's 'FIDE Top 100 Juniors', where he's by far the youngest member.
