The result was speedy deleted as blatant hoax. Not listed in FIDE ratings at all, let alone as GM. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The person seams unnotable. Google returns some hits [1], but almost all are result lists, no significant coverage.
The sources given in the article either just mention the subject in passing, or do not mention him at all. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:03, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - This is a hoax. Could probably be speedied. He claims grandmaster, but the sources show that not only is he not a grandmaster, but he is actually quite a weak player by competitive standards (playing in an U1400 section means you aren't even allowed to have a FIDE rating, which is used for titles like "grandmaster"). --— Rhododendrites talk | 01:58, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
