64 in live ratings, 5/5 so far in the sub 18 world championship!
Today win was a tense game, ended with a brilliant tactic
8.5/9 so far, 2682.5 live rating, spot 57! Thai guy looks like the next Carlsen!
Stunning. 36. ... Qf6 looks like some half-arsed attack on the b-pawn. White had to play 37. Qh7+ (to stop ... Bh3+)
Mr Maghsoodloo must have seen mate in eight (at most) from either capture.
I started following this player when he made "a Caruana" (+7 =0 -0) earlier this year in Sharjah. He beat, among others, Artemiev, Wang Hao, Sethuraman and Jones! Since then, he has gained some more points and now is #80 in the world in the live rating. He is 18, so is the youngest player in the top 100 after Xiong. He had 2570 in December 2017, so has gained 92 points in 8 months!! What do you think, a future world champion?
