The feature game was won by GM Illya Nyzhnyk. Here's a bit of background.
'Illya Nyzhnyk has become the world's youngest GM and the 11th youngest GM ever after qualifying for the title at the Groningen Chess Festival in Holland at the age of 14 years and 3 months.
Nyzhnyk has been of GM strength for many years and looked on target in 2008 to break the all time record of 12 years and 7 months held by fellow Ukrainian Sergey Karjakin, who now represents Russia and is one of the world's strongest players.
Nyzhnyk announced his arrival on the international stage by scoring 8.5/9 to win the B Group of the 2007 Moscow Open at the age of ten. The following year he won the Nabokov Memorial in Kiev to achieve his first GM norm.
A year ago he won at Groningen to score his second GM result and now he has his third after finishing equal first with 6.5/9(more)'.- Malcolm Pein on TWIC
