Re: Vezerkepzo IM June 2021
Does anyone know the threshold for an IM norm?

Looks like the usual 7/9 to me.

Re: Vezerkepzo IM June 2021
Another success could be imminent in Budapest, where England’s youngest chess hope, 12-year-old Shreyas Royal, is in second place with an unbeaten 4.5/7 with three rounds to go in the Vezerkepzo IM tournament. His third round win was achieved by a crushing attack. This is Royal’s second visit to Hungary, and he has already advanced his Fide rating from under 2200 to approaching 2350. However, a negative clock is ticking as, unlike some previous English prodigies, the Woolwich boy has no sponsor.Nick Burrows wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 7:26 amWhat is Shreyas' IM norm requirement here?

Shreyas's Dad, Jitendra, tells me that it can't be done, even if Shreyas wins his last two games for 7.5/10, since he has already met all the highly rated opponents. The round 9 pairing against an 1838 (also aged 12) doesn't help.

Re: Vezerkepzo IM June 2021
It's of course interesting that the secretary of the Fide Qualifications Committee should be puzzled, but it would be helpful if the comment could be less cryptic. Shreyas can only reach 6.5/9 or 7.5/10, whereas as far as I can understand the title regulations the minimum requirement against a 2230ish field of opponents is 7/9 or 8/10. What am I missing?NickFaulks wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 9:18 amI'm a bit puzzled by that.Leonard Barden wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:47 amShreyas's Dad, Jitendra, tells me that it can't be done, even if Shreyas wins his last two games for 7.5/10

Boosting the rating of his Rd 6 opponent to 2050, disregarding his round 9 win and beating someone of 2224 or above in the last round.
Unlikely, but possible I think.

Chairman, please Probably I have already said more than I should, and anyway Alex has taken the baton. I'm not even sure that is the only possibility, but first Shreyas needs to win both games!Leonard Barden wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 10:15 amIt's of course interesting that the secretary of the Fide Qualifications Committee should be puzzled

Now that I have been challenged.
A win against Szeberenyi in the last round for a 10 round norm is another possibility, but I gave the more general case.
