-
Abhimanyu Mishra was born on February 5th, 2009, and in an interview with FM Jim Eade, stated that he started playing chess at just 2-1/2 years old. After that, he began making history by setting several records in U.S. chess. He became the youngest 2000-rated player (7 years, 6 months), the youngest National Master (9 years 2 months, 17 days), and the world’s youngest International Master (10 years, 9 months, 3 days).
Since earning the International Master (IM) title, he and his family mapped out a plan to go for the ultimate predictor of World Championship material… the youngest Grandmaster in history. He was profiled by GM Maurice Ashley for the cover story in the October 2020 issue of Chess Life. On June 30th, 2021, Abhi earned his last GM norm at 12 years, 4 months, 25 days at the Vezerkepzo GM Mix tournament reaching his goal.
