BILEL BELLAHCENE
(born Mar-14-1998, 27 years old) France (federation/nationality Algeria)

[what is this?]

Grandmaster (2018). Algerian Champion in 2018.

International Master (2015) Bellahcene became a FIDE Master in 2011 and won bronze at the World U16 Championship in 2014. He subsequently scored 7/11 each time at the 2015 WYCC and World Youth Championship U18 (2016)/Bilel Bellahcene events as well as 6/11 at the World Junior Championship (2017)/Bilel Bellahcene (most games are present in each of these three events).

Bellahcene represented Algeria on Board 1 in the 2018 Chess Olympiad.

Bellahcene won the 2019 FIDE Zone 4.1 Championship with a perfect 9 out of 9 to qualify for the Chess World Cup 2019. In the first round, he came close to upsetting Hikaru Nakamura, holding the much higher-rated player to two draws in the classical games before losing in the tie-breaks.
