Faustino Oro, the Argentine chess prodigy who will turn 12 on October 14, is experiencing a historic moment in his career. In the 8th round of the Nave Bellver Insud "Prodigies and Legends" tournament, which is taking place in Madrid, he achieved the score required to obtain his first grandmaster norm, a key step on the path to the highest title in chess.
With two rounds remaining before the end of the competition, "Fausti" is the absolute leader with 6 points and a strong candidate to win the tournament. As if that were not enough, with his performance in the Spanish capital he surpassed 2500 Elo points, an unprecedented mark for a player of his age, since not even figures such as Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, or Carlsen had achieved it so early.
