A 12-YEAR-OLD British chess genius outfoxed the world's top teen player yesterday.

In a 30-minute speed game in London David Howell finished equal with Ukrainian prodigy Sergei Karjakin, 13.

Later he was judged fractionally ahead of Sergei, the youngest grandmaster in history.

Modest David, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, said: "I didn't expect anything. He's so good."
