A press release from the Tamil Nadu Chess Association has informed that the P.S. Senior Secondary School student achieved this feat at the T. Nagar Chess Academy-organised FIDE-rated tournament at the Maharishi Vidya Mandir here on Saturday when, despite losing to FIDE Master K.V. Shantharam (Indian Bank) in the sixth round, he completed the FIDE-rating qualification of securing 4.5 points against nine FIDE-rated players. Before Srinath, Parimarjan Negi held the record. The Delhi-lad had achieved it at the age of nine years and two months. In the Kanadukathan FIDE-rating championship in Chettinad held between August 9 and 14, Srinath secured two points against four FIDE-rated players (he drew with Swati Mohota (WB, 2059), lost to H. Venkatesh (TN, 2085), beat M. Natarajan (TN, 2088) and drew with R.S. Arun Srinivas (TN, 2077). And in the ongoing meet, he has 2.5 points against five FIDE-rated players (he lost to A.L.
