The Preston League is amateur, not the Grand Prix Tournament.
Amateurs? The guy in the dark blue shirt is Grigoriy Vlasov, Russian national champion in 2012, WR #49 in 2015.

I couldnt stop laughing when I saw the question....I am still laughing now. USATT rating for 'amateurs' by the way, the other guy played for the Peking team, so not sure if you can call that an amateur level or not. I am sure you meant no offense, anyone can make a mistake.
They are both amateur tournaments. I dont think we have any professional tournaments, that I am aware of, here in the UK. The Grand Prix Tournament is too. Grisha is just playing for fun because he happens to be in London. There is your answer.
