Nyzhnyk wins Groningen with Room to Spare

Illya Nyzhnyk is just 13 years old and has GM norms(can anyone confirm if he has completed the criteria?)

At the recently concluded Groningen Open, Nyzhnyk decimated GM opposition to win the tournament by a point! The performance was so awe-inspiring that GM Sipke said that no one so young had dominated a GM field like this at this age except Carlsen. Sipke should know since he was at the receiving end of a sacrificial gem by Carlsen who was also 13 at that time.

Here's a sample game where Nyzhnyk systematically grinds down GM Chadaev.




In the standings for the tournament, you will see another teenage prodigy in the field. You will effortlessly spot several strong GMs in the field.
