First player born this century to reach 2700!?

Sort:
Zangbezan

Who is it going to be?

 Parham Maghsoodloo reached 2689 about six months ago, but has been going the wrong way since then. Jefffery Xiong hit 2674 two and a half years ago, and kinda stalled until recently. He is at 2690 now and playing at the Summer Chess Classic. Can he get to 2700 in the next week?

Here's the top three in live ratings.

1- Jeffery Xiong. Born 2000 Current Live Rating: 2690 Currently playing the Summer Chess Classic.

2- Alireza Firouzja. Born 2003 Current Live Rating: 2685 Not playing a tournament currently.

3- Samuel Sevian. Born 2000 Current Live Rating: 2676 Currently playing the Summer Chess Classic.

So, who's your pick? Will Jeffery finally climb over the 2700 in this tournament, or will one of the other two get there before him.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I'm talking about FIDE classical ratings. These players chess.com ratings are a lot higher.
