The little grand chess master of Indian origin, Abhimanyu Mishra. The 12-year-old player from New Jersey scored his third GM norm in Budapest. "On Wednesday, Mishra won the biggest game of his short but sweet career so far. He defeated the 15-year-old Indian GM Leon Luke Mendonca with the black pieces, securing a performance rating higher than 2600 over nine rounds," stated an official release on Chess.com.

The genius broke GM Sergey Karjakin's record that was continuing for 19 years. Mishra, born on February 5, 2009, took 12 years, four months, and 25 days to obtain the highest title in chess.

Mishra spent several years in Hungary and Budapest for playing back-to-back tournaments, chasing the title and the record. However, in his final attempt, he achieved this milestone. As several chess players stayed in Budapest for this tournament, the organizers created one last event, this time a Swiss group called the Vezerkepzo GM Mix. Having been invited to the FIDE World Cup in Sochi, Mishra knew this was going to be his last chance before leaving Hungary so he did his best, We wish him a best for his upcoming bright future!.
