At 8, Ashwath Kaushik beats a chess grandmaster - News.com.au. The boy, who lives in Singapore, achieved the feat after beating Poland's Jacek Stopa, 37, in the fourth round of the Burgdorfer Stadthaus Open in Switzerland.
The previous record had been set only last month by Leonid Ivanovic, also eight years old, who had become the first player under nine years old to beat a grandmaster in a classic match.
