Date of birth

[edit]

Currently this entry states that he was born on 9 November, however his GM title application says he was born on 15 September, while his IM title application says 11 September, which I suppose was americanly interpreted as 9 November by the unreliable cg.com, which perhaps is the source of the date of birth in this entry.

Also the place of birth stated in this article is different from the one given in the FIDE titles applications. Sophia91 (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I created this article over a year ago and cannot remember the specifics, but I have never used cg as a source for biographical information. I only use it as an external link in the "External links" section or to link to a game. 11 September is probably the right date (a ChessBase article repeats it, presumably taking from the IM application), but I do not know why there is a discrepancy between the applications. He is referred to as "native of Madurai" "from Madurai" in news articles, though these phrases can have multiple meanings I suppose. Hrodvarsson (talk) 03:05, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
