I was included in an email series in which

 Arthur Barlas noticed that  

Carissa Yip, who is #99 on the list of top 100 girls with FIDE ratings,
is currently the top 12 year old girl player in the World!

 

The FIDE Top 100 Girls' list is at:

https://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=girls

Carissa, with her 2164 FIDE rating, barely makes it at #99, but she's the only one on the list with a 2003 birth year (there are only two born in 2002), which easily makes her the top rated 12-year old girl in the world  by something close to nine months or more, since her birthday is way out in September!

Congratulations indeed,
Paul

P.S.

Here's the three youngest girls currently on the FIDE Top 100 list:

Another congratulations to Carissa!
