The Bosna Sarajevo 2006 took place in Sarajevo, Bosnia, from May 7th to 16th, 2006. It was a double round robin with six players, averaging 2659, which made it a category 17 event. Three players finished together in first place, among them 15-year-old Magnus Carlsen with a sterling 2696 performance. Magnus lost none of his games, drawing all and winning one.
Addendum: We have been informed by Odd Gunnar Malin of Vadsø, Norway, that this is not "a record for anyone of his age". Magnus had an even better performance when he still was 14 years old. He even provided proof, oddly enough in form of a chessbase.com article. Other readers reminded us of the memorable "Sack of Rome" result by Sofia Polgar in 1989, when she was 14 and defeated a string of grandmasters. Sofia won the tournament with a score of 8.5/9 and a performance of 2928. We stand corrected.
