Bu Xiangzhi wins the Canadian Open

   [1]Speaking of prodigies, Bu Xiangzhi was once the youngest ever GM
   (in 1999, at the age of 13 yrs., 10 months and 13 days) and is still
   the fourth-youngest ever. Yet he receives little to no love from the
   western chess media, which is a shame. Happily, ChessBase has taken a
   step in the right direction with this [2]photo report on the Canadian
   Open, which Bu won (alone) with a fine 8/10 score, ahead of such
   players as Short, Milov and Tiviakov. Given his 2685 rating coming in
   and the points he'll gain from this tournament, he can't remain
   unknown for long - can he?
