Another excellent proof to show how trashy the title of GM has become!
Not sure about whats trashy? He took 1st with a GM rated 2632 fide.
If hes for real look-out Carlsen.
How does that make the title trashy?? How about the fact that you might be witnessing brilliant games from a great player….who just happens to be 13 years old???
Did he get a GM Norm?
No GM norm because there wasn’t enough GM players. Josh Friedel isn’t a GM yet.
Another excellent proof to show how trashy the title of GM has become!
Hear, here.
Another waste of time by Robson. Instead of going to school he playes tournaments with fake grandmasters (except Sadva, who was World Junior Champion, a fact that nobody here knew except me).
