Your chance to play India's latest GM
Leon Mendonca is just 14 years old, but already has a strong Elo rating of 2538. Leon scored three GM-norms in a little over three months and crossed the 2500 rating barrier to become India's 67th GM. From being locked out in Europe during the pandemic, Leon converted every adversity into opportunity. He gained close to 100 Elo points and three GM norms playing in 16 tournaments. He was clearly the player of the year for India in 2020. He is now going to come to the ChessBase India YouTube channel to play against the Premium members of ChessBase Account.
Leon is not just a great chess player, but also a wonderful musician!
