He also became the fourth youngest to claim the grandmaster title. At the 45th Chess Olympiad held in Budapest recently, the Turkish player played on board three and scored 8/11 points. He clinched a performance rating of 2636 in the tournament, and that surged his overall ratings to 2601 in FIDE's updated rankings for October. Erdogmus is just 13 years, three months and 28 days old, and thus created history by becoming the youngest to register an FIDE classical rating of more than 2600. He broke the record of American grandmaster John Burke, who did so a couple of months after he turned 14 years old.
