The 18 year old Norwegian chess talent Saad Elmi from our extreme makeover program just scored his second IM- norm at a closed norm tournament in Zadar in Croatia. Saad just missed out on the GM norm with 0,5 points after failing to convert a won position in the last game. To his comfort he will be able to go home with the IM-norm after drawing 3 GMs and staying undefeated through the 9 rounds. He scored 6 out of 9 and finished second in the tournament. We wish him best luck in the Zadar Chess Festival which is his next tournament.
