10-year-old prodigy Faustino Oro nears "Youngest International Master Ever"

Featured is the final round game between 10-year-old Argentine chess prodigy Faustino Oro and Grandmaster Georg Meier from the Americas Continental Chess Championship 2024. The opening is a French Defense, Advance Variation, where Oro first accumulates positional pluses on Meier's kingside and then follows with a sacrifice that grants Oro's major pieces access to the black king. In this event, Oro secured his second International Master norm and gained 48 rating points. He is now only one International Master norm and one rating point away from breaking Abhimanyu Mishra's record for youngest International Master ever. Faustino Oro was born on October 14, 2013.
