Shreyas royal is one of several UK IMs who should already be a GM if it were not utter failure of the fide rating system - proving today beyond all doubt that 2600-2700s in their little protected bubble are actually very vulnerable to players below them

To quote the tournament organiser on Twitter: "Shreyas needs a draw against Mickey Adams tomorrow for a GM norm!"
