Dmitry Krymsky

Five-year-old chess player Dmitry Krymsky passed the standard for the third youth category, but was left without a supporting document due to his age. It is reported by “AiF Tomsk”.

The five-year-old Tomsk city took part in the regional championship for athletes under nine years old. The organizers of the tournament refused to issue a certificate to Krymsky, citing the boy's age. He trains under the guidance of the Tomsk grandmaster Andrey Belozerov.
