Thanks for everyone's support during the British C'ship! I enjoyed coming out of retirement for my first Swiss tournament in 3 years ♟👴🏻 Obviously gutted to have come within 1 move of winning the title, but this was Gawain's year. Many congrats to him and Shreyas! 🏆

I’d like to add that I’d attended a training camp in Zagreb with @Kasparov63 prior to achieving my GM title. It was reassuring to hear Garry’s words upon hearing about my 5 narrow final GM norm misses. It helped me finally break the UK’s GM record. Huge thanks to @Kasparov_Chess

Congratulations from all of us here at British Chess News: thoroughly deserved Shreyas!
Grand Master!!! After 5 narrow misses, I finally clinch my final norm at the British Chess Championship. It’s truly been a remarkable journey and I cannot thank everyone, who has helped me, enough. Namely, @demishassabis @ecfchess @TelegraphChess for their constant support.
