 Telegraph | Arts | The Sunday chess column
The 18-year-old Miss Kosteniuk, "the Kournikova of chess" as she is known, became so famous after her appearance on CNN that she is even recognised by members of my cricket team - most of whom are unable to distinguish between a bishop and a knight (or a ball and a bat, for that matter).
Since then her performances have been unexceptional, stalling or even deteriorating a tad (she is currently ranked 18th in the world) and there is a danger that she may end up resembling Miss Kournikova in more ways than intended.
The 12-year-old grandmaster Sergey Karjakin, fortunately, faces none of these temptations.

The grandmaster title earned at 12 by Sergey Karjakin (see picture; thanks to kasparovchess), makes one wonder about the development of this record.
In 1950, when FIDE had better things to do then to make chessplayers piss in public, and first instituted an official grandmaster title, it nominated 27 players.
On 29 April 2002 Karjakin's club mate Kateryna Lahno (born 27 December 1989, FIDE rating 2328) fulfilled the international GM norm for women - it happened when she was even younger than the famous Judit Polgar, so she also holds the record.

World Junior Champion P Harikrishna survived some anxious moments before drawing with world's youngest ever Grandmaster Sergey Karjakin of Ukraine in the sixth round of the category-16 Dos Hermanas International Chess tournament in Spain on Thursday.
Playing the Tchigorin variation of the Ruy Lopez, Harikrishna was saddled with a passive position in the middle game wherein he could make little progress while Karjakin had all the time to improve his position.
Karjakin probed for quite sometime before saying enough is enough.

The latest wunderkind came to the attention of the international press when it was discovered that Ruslan Ponomariov, who won the FIDE world championship early this year, had an 11-year-old player as his official second.
It was the Ukrainian IM Sergei Karjakin, who later turned up at the Aeroflot tournament in Moscow in January and dutifully chalked up a GM norm there.
Young Sergei then played at FIDE Grand Prix in Dubai, where he went out in the first round against Veselin Topalov, the world number 8 player.
