Happy Birthday IM Lorin D'Costa (05-ix-1984)


Lorin has the unique distinction of gaining the title of “Strat” four times for winning the UK Chess Challenge Terafinal in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Only four other players have won the title more than once : Peter Poobalasingam, Félix José Ynojosa Aponte, Marcus Harvey and Koby Kalavannan.

It is likely that this feat will never be matched or bettered since the title has been abandoned by the new owners of UKCC.
