His first win against a rated opponent came in the third round when he defeated Robert Cherubim. His first win against a titled opponent was against CM Aasa Dommalapatiat the 5th Cherry Blossom Classic held in Virginia USA in May 2017. He placed equal second at the Marshall August 2017 FIDE Weekend with 4/5, half a point behind IM Yury Lapshun. This, combined with his 4/6 result at the 47th Annual Continental Open a few weeks later earned him another 100 rating points. The latter result also pushed him to a USCF rating of over 2200 earning him the National Master title, the youngest to ever do so. In October 2017, Zhou was finished near the leader board at the 9th Annual Washington Chess Congress with a score of 5/7. Rating and Ranking As of July 2018, Zhou Liran's highest rating was 2214, by far the highest rating of any ten year old. If the category was official, he would be the world's #1 in the under 10 group. Source (1) https://new.uschess.org/news/nine-y... Try our new games table.
