It depends on your criteria, but he's clearly some way ahead of where I was at the same age.

Ok, so more likely he's a promising junior then. Well good luck to him, I hope the pressure doesn't stifle his talent.

Saw the chess part of this on the itv player. Labbett admits he isn't in the same class as Shreyas, who says he spends 40 hours a week on chess. I hope he also does his homework.
You can't see the board position clearly. Programme wasn't especially gripping I am afraid.

"This is just another repeat its already been shown before"
