San Jose junior NM Matthew Ho was selected to represent the United States at the World Youth Chess Championship in Crete, Greece on November 4-13. Matthew is the highest rated junior in Northern California, with current ratings of 2259 USCF and 2277 FIDE. He has his work cut out for him in Greece, since he is seeded 41st out of 116 players in the B16 (boys 16-and-under) section, with two Grandmasters sitting at the top boards. Matthew joins an American delegation of 14 boys and 10 girls who play in five age categories. Southern Californians NM Elliott Liu (B16) and WFM Tatev Abrahamyan (G16) are the only other west coast participants.
