Norms

He scored the standards for this with each overachievement in the Moscow Open 2008 and 2009 and in between at the Autumn tournament in 2008 in the Russian Zvenigorod . He has been a grandmaster since April 2010. Two standards were sufficient for him, which he also achieved with overachievement: at the Chigorin Memorial in St. Petersburg in October 2009 and at his 22nd place at the individual European championships in March 2010 in Rijeka . Since the second norm achieved was achieved in a continental championship and in more than nine games, the eleven games there were counted as 20 games in terms of standards.
