Feat of the week was Illya Nyzhnyk's victory in the U2300 B group of the Moscow Open. The Ukrainian is 10, yes 10, years old, the youngest winner of an adult international tournament, with a stunning 8.5/9 score and a 2633-rating performance. It is a result to outshine the great prodigies of the past.
