Mas is getting closer to his GM norm and may have just missed it in Biel by just one or half a game. Can’t wait to see next tournament Mas will be playing in. He should get a GM norm very soon. As can be seen, he is the lowest rated in the top 17 so he is performing well over his estimated rating. There should be some good rating increase from his Biel performance.
