When people talked about young Indian talents they would usually speak about 5 names – Gukesh, Arjun, Pragg, Nihal and Raunak. Well, it’s time to add a sixth name to that list – Leon Mendonca! The 17-year-old youngster from Goa is in scintillating form as he won the Bad Worishofen tournament in Germany last week and now managed to win the Hit Open in Slovenia with a round to spare. Leon is on 8.0/8 and has a lead of two points over the field. He has also gained 23 Elo points. Leon’s live rating is 2593. He has made his way into the top 20 juniors in the world and is now no.17. In this video IM Sagar Shah shows you Leon’s win over GM Nigel Davies from the penultimate round of the Hit Open 2023.
