I was browsing this forum for related topics and what surprised me is this: http://www.chess.com/members/view/babyking1205?nid=6996440

If that is indeed his account, then we should all welcome 8 year old FM Alekhine Nouri here in chess.com Laughing

Alekhine Nouri pictured here was personally met by Gary Kasparov during his visit last year in the Philippines.

Alekhine Nouri (born December 12, 2005) is a Filipino FIDE Master. Named after Russian chess player Alexander Alekhine, Nouri became the youngest Filipino FIDE Master at the age of 7 and is also the youngest FM in the world today.

Bright future for him Wink

He is truly a talented player. We were in Hue City, Vietnam while he was still 6 years old and brought home 3 silver medals in the 8-Under open category.
