Too much chess for him

There's such a thing as too much chess to the extent that one gets burned out mentally, even physically,, as Tan Jun Ying discovered at the Vezerkepzo November IM tournament in Budapest, Hungary. He took part in this tournament in the hope of achieving his final International Master norm but found the event too tough-going. Prior to this event, he had obtained two norms from inspired play at the Qatar Open in October and the November First Saturday IM tournament. But never mind, I'm sure there will be opportunities again. Just don't get discouraged by this result. Take the bad with the good.
