Beat the Candidate honour roll

The Wall of Fame

Anthony is a FIDE Candidate Master, ranked inside the top 250 of more than 3,600 rated players in Australia. Beating him over the board, in public, with a crowd watching, is a serious scalp. The players below did exactly that. Their names stay up here for good, with full bragging rights.

The wall awaits its first conqueror. Could be you.
