Just one month later, Karjakin would become the youngest Grandmaster ever at 12 years and 7 months exactly. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1253303 IM Sergey Karjakin vs IM Vasily Borisovich Malinin: "Kids Play the Darndest Things" (game of the day May-13-07) - Sudak UKR 2002 - Scotch Game: Modern Defense (C45), Steinetz variation [Event "Sudak UKR"] [Site "It"] [Date "2002.08.07"] [Round "7"] [White "Sergey Karjakin...
