Congratulations to 16-year-old Yang-Fan Zhou who secured his third and final IM norm with a score of 7/9. He has also satisfied the necessary rating requirement of 2400 so he should be awarded the IM title at FIDE’s 2nd quarter Presidential Board Meeting 4-7 June 2011. His previous norms were gained at Coulsdon in 2008 and the Brighton e2e4 event in February 2011. He finished 1st= in the tournament with Russian Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev.

Terry Chapman played in the A Open and scored 4/7.


Unlikely, given that he was playing in the RAC simultaneous last Saturday!
The player in question would appear to be Alan Chapman with an ELO rating of 2018.
