At just 8 years old Ashwath Kaushik beats a chess grandmaster. Record of the little Indian who lives in Singapore, he is the youngest to have achieved it.
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. “It was really exciting and surprising, and I felt proud of my game and how I carried it forward, especially because at one point I was behind, but then I managed to catch up.”
