Hey ChessKids! We have some really brilliant chess players in the ChessKid family, including FM Shreyas Royal and NM Brewington Hardaway. Read on to hear about Shreyas' successful GM-level performance and Brew's first-place win!


FM Shreyas Royal’s Grandmaster Performance!

A couple of weeks ago, the number-one-rated teen in the U.K., FM Shreyas Royal, played at the Sparkassen A-Open Tournament in the famous football city of Dortmund, Germany. 

Finishing with an amazing performance rating of 2492 and a joint third, the young chess prodigy played just as well as a grandmaster in this tournament! Excellent work, Shreyas! peshka
