Adams missed the IM norm by half a point at age 12 at Lloyds Bank 1984. I guess he was at least 2300 strength at 14.
July 1985 seems to be his first appearance on the international rating list at 2360.

Yes i did. On reflection, decided it raised questions which were not really appropriate for this forum. Clearly the programme didn't portray a particularly positive impression to the lay viewer, but then i'm sure you're aware of that.

I think to remove the post was the right thing - thank you.
We are addressing all our concerns with the programme but again not a topic for this forum
