David Howell played against the Russian world champ Vladimir Kramnik in four "blitz matches" on Friday, drawing one of them!
Normal chess matches can go on for hours.
But in blitz matches, players have 10 minutes each to out-wit their opponent.
Although he lost the match overall, the drawn game makes him a record breaker in the chess world.
Kramnik became world champ in 2000 after beating Garry Kasparov. At 10-years-old, he'd beaten two grand masters.
David also shook the chess world in 1999 when he beat a grand master at his own game.
He's already won the under-eight, nine and 10 British Chess championships and came joint first in the European Under-12s.
Now David plays mostly on the adult circuit, only competing against children his age in major championships.
