Back in times when I lived in Ukraine I happened to play with Ilya in several tournaments. First time I saw him on the Ukranian championship in May 2004. At that point he was only 8, but as I can recalled he managed to tie several games with international masters and scored approximately 50%. His rating was already around 2200 an everyone was predicting him a broght future. He slowed down a little bit and didn't show significant rating improvement over next year, but then he won European championship in his age group. Nothing surprising - in early age chess player can show rapid growth over the short time.

Q: When you are preparing for major chess tournaments like London how many hours a day do you devote to getting ready? As much as it takes – up to 10 hours if needed – plus another two or three hours during the tournament. Q: And how do you prepare ...

8-Year-Old American Wins a World Championship — America has a new world champion, and he is only 8 years old. The new titleholder, Awonder Liang of Wisconsin, tied for first in the under-8 section of the World Youth Chess Championship in Brazil, which ended last weekend. He took the gold medal on tie-breakers. Awonder almost ran away from the field, winning his first seven games before drawing his eighth and then losing in the last round. He was not the only American to medal. In the under-10 section, Ruifeng Li of Texas took the silver, also on tie-breakers. And in the girls’ under-14 group, Sarah Chiang, another Texan, narrowly missed out on the bronze medal when she tied for third. But under the tie-breaker scoring system, she finished fourth. One of ...
