American Abhimanyu Mishra of Indian descent became the youngest grandmaster in the history of the game, at the age of twelve. There was a lot of skepticism about young players, as we know from the past, most of the records of young players, achieving GM titles at a young age, were made with some support. But the development of this young player and his serious work with the Kasparov Chess Foundation proved that he is a real talent and deserved his IGM title.
His last result in the USA Championship – fourth place – confirmed his bright future and real chances to start his path to the World Championship. He can continue the great line of American Champions: Morphy, Pillsbury, Marshall, Fine, Reshevsky, Fischer, Seirawan and Kamsky.
At the moment, the young prodigy is participating in the Challengers tournament at the 6th Prague International Chess Festival, where he is playing against such top-notch opponents as Erwin L'Ami, Anton Korobov, and others. Mishra will share with KCF Academy subscribers his first-hand experience, insights, and challenges he went through at the tournament in Prague.
