Chennai: The youngest grandmaster in chess feat held by Russian Karjak in Sergey for almost 19 years – damaged by Abhimanyu Mishra on Wednesday night.
American boy, with Indian roots, rewriting the record at 12 years, 4 months and 25 days.
Carjakin has achieved the difference in August 2002 at the age of 12 years and 7 months.
Abhimanyu beat Indian GM Leon Mendonca in the second half of the Verukepzo GM tournament in Budapest to pocket the third and last GM norm and rewrite the notebook.
“The match against Leon was difficult but the error since the end was everything I needed to cross the landmark.
I feel relieved and happy to be able to achieve this achievement,” Abhimanyu told Ti times after his victory.
The Covid-19 pandemic means Abhimanyu, who also holds a record to become the youngest international master at 10 years 9 months and 3 days, has not played over-the-board events for months.
With the situation slowly returned to normal, Abhimanyu began to appear in several tournaments and his Elo rankings crossed 2400 in March this year.
His father Hemant, who worked as a software engineer in New Jersey, made a bold step towards Europe and played tournaments in an effort to break the cargo record.
“We knew there was a chance for us to make three norms in the tournament in Europe.
We have a one-way ticket and reach Budapest in the first week of April to play back-to-back tournaments.
It was a dream that I, my wife Swati and Abhimanyu shared and There are no words to describe that feeling, “Hemant Toi said.
With about 100 points Elo and three Norma GM need to be a grandmaster, Abhimanyu realized that the trip would be boring.
He registered his first GM norm at the Verukepzo GM event in April.
In May, Abhimanyu got Norma GM both at the first Round Round Round GM tournament.
