8/23/2018 – People are predicting a very bright future for Indian chess and one of the main reasons why is Nihal Sarin (the other one is Praggnanandhaa). Nihal became a GM at the age of 14 years, 1 month and 1 day when he achieved his final GM norm at the Abu Dhabi Masters 2018 with one round to spare. This makes the young boy the 12th youngest GM in the history of the game. In this article, we tell you all about the people who have helped Nihal to become the chess player that he is. At the same time, we analyze two of his most recent games (from 2018) and show you why he is a technical and positional monster. Nihal's restlessness earned him the title of "the boy who never sits"! Well, we have now officially changed it to "the boy who never stops"! | Photo: Amruta Mokal
