FMTalab Rami

Rami Talab’s early chess development was supported by his father, Mounes Talab, and by Egyptian International Master Khaled Abdel Razek. He began international competition at five at an open tournament in Kuwait. Although he represents Syria internationally, much of his later competitive life has been in Cornwall. In 2023 he became the county’s youngest champion, aged ten. He retained the Cornwall championship in each of the next three years, winning his fourth consecutive title in 2026 while playing for Carnon Downs. FIDE awarded him the FIDE Master title in 2026.
