Ethan Pang, the nine-year-old London schoolboy who, in June, set a new world mark as the youngest ever to achieve a 2200 master rating, is in the record books again.
Competing in the Vezerkepzo IM tournament in Budapest, Pang defeated three grandmasters in succession between rounds two and five. True, the beaten trio were past their best and rated below 2400 compared with the normal GM level of 2500, but they all had decades of high-level experience.
