His first event was the Teplice Open in the Czech Republic, and while he did not collect a GM norm, it was still a good start for him. After 7 rounds he was 5.5 points, but losses in the last two rounds left him in a tie for 31st (along with Winkelman). However he did collect the scalps of a number of highly rated opponents, including this win over GM Karen Movsziszian.

A hard fought win. Interesting to note that after White's first move with his Queen was to to a white square (14. Qa4}, all of the other Queen moves in the game were to dark squares.
