24-year-old Lukasz Nowak from Poland was just a few months old when he was diagnosed with a spinal muscular atrophy in its severest form. When he was seven, his grandfather taught him to play chess. Lukasz really liked the game, and after five years he decided to play his first tournament – the Najdorf Chess Festival in Warsaw. The boy kept working on the game and his level improved. In 2011 he won a bronze medal in the Warsaw Youth Olympiad and a few months later he became the IPCA World Youth Champion. He has a current FIDE rating of 2265 and is a complete inspiration.
You can find lots of Lukasz' games, and his rating development here.
