Sergey Karjakin, from the Ukraine, became at Grandmaster at twelve, last year. No less than five others had broken Judit's record of becoming a Grandmaster at 15. Incidentally, Judit broke the record held by Bobby Fischer, who turned 60 yesterday.

Thx for the info, Freidrich. Suspected it had been broken - but 12!!! I am amazed by all GM's - who I think are the next step in evolution - but to have done that at twelve - amazing.
