these ratings are rather reliable because these juniors have been in group coaching streams for a year or two. They have not had individual coaching which does tend to produce larger fluctuation (increases) in ratings.

it is round 1 of a SWISS so the rating difference in each pairing is at a maximum.

I anticipated the results\ wink.

Do the coaching streams work better than individual coaching? If so which coaches are considered the best for junior players who want to improve?
