Some interesting games there from Rishi. Beating Hamish obviously stands out because he is always a tricky opponent and in good form after the British.
It will be interesting to follow his progress.
If you look back at Scottish juniors who have achieved similarly good results over the last decade I would say that a very common theme was that they were very well prepared (in terms of opening theory) but impractical. That speaks to the nature of Scottish chess with a number of very good coaches, but a lack of tournaments.
Flicking quickly through these games it is difficult for me to tell whether this is the case here or not.
