There are two new faces on the Northern California list: Kyle Shin (photo at right from ChessDryad) and Hayk Manvelyan (who actually earned his first rating in April) . Both start out with solid initial ratings in the high 2000s, a tad higher than my 2054 way back in January 2000. Kudos also to new master Yian Liou for posting an impressive gain over the past two months.
Due to a recent policy change, FIDE now publishes its ratings six times a year, up from four. The following represents the official September 2009 FIDE rating list.
- FM Danya Naroditsky 2339
- FM Steven Zierk 2303
- NM Gregory Young 2264
- NM Yian Liou 2208 -- gained 74 points in two months!
- NM Rohan Agarwal 2197
- NM Nicholas Nip 2147
- Evan Sandberg 2130
- Hayk Manvelyan 2082
- Kyle Shin 2071
