With three rounds to play, Jeffery leads by a full point. The World Junior is open to players under 20; Jeffery is 15. He has White against Vladislav Artemiev tomorrow.
Hi Bill,
Looks like I posted about this event just a few minutes before you did! Sorry…
So Franc, are you going to organize a “Plano vs. the United States” match? (Ruifeng Li is the other player who’s made a big impression on me this summer.)
LOL. At the Delegates Meeting, while giving my Zonal President report, I said that since we have two of the top four players under 16 in the world, Jeffery Xiong and Ruifeng Li, a couple of organizers (who I named there) were considering having a Texas vs. the World U-16 match. Of course, that was a joke…
I was there for the first day of the Delegates Meeting, and must have unconsciously stolen your joke. It would be (if I may coin a phrase) intellectually dishonest of me not to acknowledge this theft.
A lot can happen in three rounds…good luck to Jeffery!
Are you going to complain that the author of this post insulted you? Maybe you can get him put in the moderation queue. 
And draws the game. Still up by a full point over Artemiv and Natsuta and 1.5 over anyone else. He drops a 1.5 to play Bersamina of the Philippines since he beat Natsuta in round 10.
With the two players tied for second playing each other, Jeffery could clinch the Championship tomorrow!
And he has already played both of them with a score of 1.5
GM Jeffery Xiong - World Junior Champion with one round to spare!!
Jeffrey wins with 10.5 a full point clear of second
