Anurag Mhamal is 2498 – a whisker away from becoming India’s 48th GM!
07/07/2017 -International Master from Goa, Anurag Mhamal, had a splendid outing at the XXVII Open Internacional de Gros held in San Sebastian, Spain. Scoring 7.5/9, he not only bagged first place but also a GM norm - his fifth GM norm! But that's not it, he also gained 21 Elo points, taking his rating to 2498. You heard it right, just two more points and Goa will have its first Grandmaster and India, its 48th! And the best part, he's playing at the Benasque Open which started yesterday. So all of this might just happen within the next few days!
