Performing above 2500 by age 12.

He talks about finally being given his elo by the Soviet authorities in his autobio. I'm not sure if they just withheld his reports till then or if some other mechanism was in effect.
Offhand I don't recall an internal rating being discussed. Maybe they were just assigned categories then?
My apologies Emperor-of-all-he-surveys, I will scourge myself immediately.
You gave us a page full of statistics but you can't answer a simple question---
His first elo rating---when did he receive it and what was it?
