The 11-year-old British chess prodigy David Howell played Vladimir Kramnik in a blitz match staged by Einstein Group plc. today. David was playing for the Einstein Trophy and a very special record: by drawing just one of the games he would go down in history as the youngest person ever to have scored against a reigning World Champion in single combat. Vladimir Kramnik won the match by taking the first three games but, by achieving a draw in the final game, David actually set the world record Einstein were looking out for.
