Key Points
The 17-year old Samant, an International Master, became a GM when he started his ninth round game against compatriot Aryan Chopra at the BielChess MTO 2023 tournament...
He had drawn from his eighth round game against Bu Xiangzhi and needed to achieve his final GM norm by playing the ninth round, no matter the result..
Maharashtra player Samant had already crossed the 2500 Elo mark in the live ratings and had obtained two GM norms, Hence, the third and final norm was all he needed to become India's latest Grandmaster...
Congratulations to Aditya Samant S!#BielChess seems to be a good place to crown Indian Grandmasters!.
- 2021 it was @HarshitRaja1 who earned his 3rd GM-norm in Biel - 2022 it was @GMPranavAnand who earned his 3rd GM-norm in Biel - and 2023 now Aditya Samant S!"..
