GEORGE TOWN: Weeks after realising his dream of becoming an international master (IM) at chess, a 15-year-old Penang boy has now set his sights on becoming Malaysia’s first chess grandmaster.
On July 21, Poh Yu Tian proved his mettle at the 8th East Asian Youth Chess Championship (EAYCC) here and became the country’s youngest IM. Prior to that, he had already been ranked as the most active player in the country.
