The World Chess Federation have now awarded the Norwegian chess talent Elham Amar from our Extreme Makeover program the GM title. Elham is the first Grandmaster that has emerged through our programs. We are extremely proud of him and would like to to thank all people that has helped him get to where he is today. And an extra big thankyou to his sponsor FERD and its CEO Morten Borge and to his coach GM Simen Agdestein. Elham is also about to graduate at The Norwegian School of Elite Sports before he will become a chess professional, an amazing story and we are happy that we saw his potential 8 years ago!

Elmham scored his final Grandmaster norm by winning The Riga Technical University Open in Latvia.
