Chess career

Al-Khatib is the first Jordanian grandmaster. He was awarded the title in March 2023 after winning the Open section of the Arab Chess Championship. [3] Players can become grandmasters by winning a Continental Chess Championship and having a rating above 2300, without having to earn the standard three grandmaster norms or having a rating above 2500. [4] This is the manner by which Al-Khatib earned his title.

In June 2023, Al-Khatib participated in the 23rd Dubai Open Chess Tournament, where he drew against the higher-rated Sambit Panda in the seventh round. [5]
