Karjakin's record for the youngest GM stands since 2002 at the age of 12 years and 7 months. Abhimanyu has time until 5th of September! Will he manage to break it?
The 12-year-old is on fire at the First Saturday GM norm May event in Budapest, Hungary. He won his 8th round encounter, and with 7.0/8, he scored his 2nd GM norm with a round to spare (here's the current cross table). Not only that, the lad also performed at an Elo of 2703, gaining 24 rating points. Abhimanyu's live rating is now 2471. The boy has time until 5th of September (just under four months) to break Sergey Karjakin's youngest GM record. He needs one last GM norm and 29 Elo points.

Immediately after finishing the game, Abhimanyu came back to his room, freshened up and annotated this game for the readers of ChessBase. Enjoy the youngster's analysis:
Abhimanyu will next play at the GM Round Robin Invitational in Hungary from the 13th of May 2021. But before that he will appear on ChessBase India's livestream to play against the Premium Members of ChessBase Account.
But even without a Premium Account you can watch the broadcast – and gain an impression of this remarkable young chess talent.
He has a good chess teacher...
Breaking: here the final ranking after nine rounds. Abhi won his last game, beating top seed GM Vojtech Plat (who finished third). The boy ended the tournament with a total of 8.0/9 – just two draws, three full points ahead of everyone else. His rating performance was 2739, and with that he has gained 30.5 Elo points.
Hang on to your hat, Magnus!
