The writer of these lines has not yet fully understood why Roven Vogel is not yet a grandmaster. The student was a youth world champion and has a painful score of 4-0 against me. He has an understanding of chess that is unparalleled and whenever he plays he seems to do so successfully.
If you ask him, he might be lacking the very last ambition to really get started in chess again.
In memory of Wolfgang Uhlmann, a GM tournament was held, supported by the UKA. Roven was the only player among the participants who did not hold the GM title. Now Roven is one step closer to the highest title that chess has to offer. Thanks to 7 points from 9 games, he achieved his GM norm.
