Texas Tech Has a New Grandmaster

Here’s an item from newswise.com about a Texas Tech student, who is the world’s newest chess Grandmaster.

Davorin Kuljasevic - Newest Chess Grandmaster at Texas Tech

International Master Davorin Kuljasevic scored five wins and four draws at the 2010 Pula Open in Croatia to become the first Knight Raider to enter the elite ranks of the approximately 1,000 grandmasters worldwide.

The news item says that Kuljasevic is Coratian, and as I couldn’t find him listed on the “top” lists at uschess.org, he has likely played in the U.S. only very recently.

Nevertheless, it’s a great achievement for Kuljasevic, Texas Tech, and the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence.
