The eight year old wonder kid Mohammad Fahad Rahman made history to become the youngest player in history to win the Dr. Mirza Akmal Hossain Memorial 31st National Sub-Junior Chess Championship 2011 on Thursday.
Though Fahad has won numerous titles in his short career, this is Fahad's first Sub-Junior Chess Championship honour. Fahad participated in twice in this championship and was placed third in 2009 and 2010.
This time Fahad was unstoppable and remained unbeaten in the eight-day long championship. In the opening match on July 1 he beat Shahin and continued
his dominating form defeating Tisha, Seam, Avik Sarkar, Protiva respectively.
On Wednesday in the 7th and last round match, he beat Tanjina Akhter Tani in 46 moves at the Chess Federation auditorium to emerge as the champion and claim the national sub-junior crown with one match to spare. Fahad, with an all-win record, secured all seven points.
Last two year's sub-junior champion Ikramul Haque Siam finished second with 5.5 points while Avik Sarker was placed third with five points.
Three players - Tanjina Akhter Tani, Tahmina Akhter Tisha and Rafsan secured 4.5 points each to become joint 4th.
However, Fahad is now the youngest player to win the Sub-Junior Chess Championship in Bangladesh's history.
Fahad was ecstatic after winning Wednesday's match where he took 1 hour and 30 minutes to defeat Tani.
"I'm very happy to become the new champion in Sub-Junior Chess. I want to win every match and every tournament like this," said a very confident Fahad.
Fahad is currently ranked as the number one chess player in the world in his age level with 1973 rating.
