Yeah I know, I didn't want to downplay his achievement, of course! I am an amateur player who is good enough to understand how many things I don't understand about chess, and any GM would whoop me blindfolded. I'm not 100% serious with my remark, I just wanted to say that it sounds verbally a little bit bizarre to call a 12 year old a "Grandmaster" of something. ;-)
And of course, you couldn't change the requirements for the GM title anyway as it would be unfair for all the previous GMs. I guess that's why we have the inofficial title of Super-GM.
