The World's Top One Hundred Players

: Created:10 Mar 2014 , by

Magnus Carlsen sets a new rating points of 2881 but I want to draw attention to the top 100 juniors.

There are no British players in the first one hundred juniors. We are doing our best at Ealing to encourage juniors but it requries a national effort if this country's promising youngsters turn into challengers on the world stage. It is my view that many of our ten and eleven year olds are as good as any over the globe but in the pick-up years 12-16 we fall behind.
