Kenneth Terence Solomon[2] (born 8 October 1979) is a South African chess Grandmaster.
During the 40th Chess Olympiad in Istanbul Solomon earned his final GM norm.
[5] Although Solomon has never reached the rating of 2500 that is usually required for the Grandmaster title, a special FIDE rule allows winners of continental championships to earn the title regardless of rating, and he did so by winning the African Chess Championship in December 2014.
He qualified for the 2017 Chess World Cup where he was defeated by Fabiano Caruana in the first round.
