FIDE Ratings:
Three players completed the requirements to earn an official FIDE Rating: Tarun Sankar, Srinidhi Punnam, and Leon Li. Their ratings will be published in the November FIDE Ratings List.
Twelve other players, by playing one or more FIDE-rated players and scoring at least 1/2 point in those games, initiated their FIDE ratings. This means that all they need to do now is play from one to four more games against FIDE-rated players within the next 24 months to earn their official FIDE rating.
Congratulations to all the prize winners and those who made progress on obtaining a FIDE rating.
