Norms after round 10 of the WYCC
FM Steven Zierk (USA) (interview with him here, here, and after R10 here), currently sharing the top position in the Open U18 section, made a GM norm! He previously covered an IM norm in round 9, but after the victory in Round 10 has increased it to GM norm. His norm is confirmed and does not depend on the result in the last round.
Two more players have achieved norms after round 10 of the World Youth Chess Championship – Anwesh Upadhyaya (IND) IM norm in the boys U18 section and FM Lanita Stetsko (BLR) WIM norm in the girls U18 section.

How old is he?
heha, well done , i just saw his game on U.S.C.F. site !!! Susan so much for the top guys who claim to be Supageniuses, dunno why India claiming to know something about the Mathematics of Chess cuz it sure doesnt look like it to me Susan.
Does that mean that he now has both an IM and an GM norm, or only a GM norm?
