But by his own admission, ‘by the time I was in my mid-teens my age-to-playing-strength ratio was distinctly average.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eHe started to study chess very seriously in his late teens and achieved a rapid rise through the ranks. He became a FIDE Master in 2008 and earned the title of International Master in 2010. 2011 brought Jonathan two Grandmaster norms.
