GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is U20 World Champion

GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (2674) of Azerbaijan has won the U20 World Chess Championship with clear point ahead of the opposition. His start was impressive and at one point he had a 2950 performance! Later he used "Topalov tactic" and drew all the games till the end while no one was able to catch him. Shakhriyar was also champion for the year 2003. Other Azeri, GM Vugar Gashimov (2608) finished 4th. These two, together with Radjabov and Guseinov, are members of the fantastic U20 Azeri generation which have kicked older from the national Olympic team.
