Since it's inception in 1920, Hastings has become one of the most famous tournaments in the world, and has played host to some of the greatest names in chess history. Every World Champion up to and including Anatoly Karpov (except Bobby Fischer) played at Hastings at some point.

This year Deep Sengupta entered his name into the illustrious list of Hastings winners. He scored 7.0/9 and lost only to IM Bobby Cheng of Australia and beat players such Mark Hebden (UK) and Alexandr Fier (Brazil).

Ravi Haria

But star of the tournament was undoubtedly 11-year old Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu of India, the world's youngest International Master. He did not lose a single game and finished with 6.5/9 to share second place. The following wild game against Danish Grandmaster Allan Stig Rasmussen shows his potential.
