11 year old British schoolboy David Howell played Vladimir Kramnik in a 'blitz' match staged by Einstein Group plc.
Vladimir won the match by taking the first three games but, by achieving a draw in the final game, David set a world record for the youngest person ever to have scored against a reigning World Champion in single combat. In recognition of his achievement, David was awarded the Einstein trophy.
