Meet Alekhine Nouri. At 7 years old, he is the Philippines' youngest chess master, having won a key World Chess Federation-sanctioned competition for his age group last month in Thailand.
"I'd like to play Sergey Karjakin," Alekhine told The Wall Street Journal, referring to the world's youngest child to win a "Grandmaster" title at 12 years and seven months old. "I want to be a super [Grandmaster]," added Alekhine, who was named in honor of Alexander Alekhine, one of the world's greatest chess players who became the fourth World Chess Champion in 1927.
