Eight-year-old defeats chess grandmaster – world record. The trainer says the boy works “like a dog.” His role model is a magician.

And: He wants to keep going until he is world champion. The old record was from January and only lasted a month. Leonid Ivanovic from Serbia won his game against the 59- year-old Bulgarian grandmaster Milko Popchev. However, he is five months older than Ashwath Kaushik.
