The Road to USCF Goes Thru BayAreaChess - Where the Champions Play! [April 2008]
Thanks: The idea of BayAreaChess Top 100 was proposed by a Krzysztof Kozminski when he pointed out that all 7 and under kids in Top 100 play at BayAreaChess. Thanks also to Dr. Kirshner for inspiration and Michael Aigner for CalChess Top 100. Please report any errors or omissions to salman~at~bayareachess.com.
Players who played entered the Top 100 after playing BayAreaChess events are very special players for me and are listed in bold.

Goal: The purpose of these lists is to celebrate and recognize of the players who attend BayAreaChess events (and is limited to those who have attended events since Jan 2007). I am honored that BayAreaChess played a small role in getting them there (faster and without long drives... they have the ability to get here anyway.).
