A three-year-old Indian is the youngest chess player with a FIDE rating
A Three-Year-Old Chess Prodigy from India Amazes the World ♟️🌟
The chess world is stunned: a three-year-old boy from India has become the youngest player in history to receive an official FIDE rating. 👶♟️ Usually, children at this age are just learning to play — but he is already competing in serious tournaments and earning an international rating.
This shows how quickly chess is developing in India and how differently children are being trained today. 🇮🇳✨
To receive a FIDE rating, you must: 📊
- Play at least 5 games against rated players;
- Score at least 0.5 points;
- Take part in an official FIDE tournament.
The boy succeeded — and played against opponents two or three times older than him. 💪♟️
He started playing chess at around two years old, when his parents noticed his interest in logic games. 🧠🧩
The chess community is actively discussing this news. 💬♟️
Grandmaster coaches emphasize the importance of not putting pressure on the child, allowing him to develop gradually. 🧘♂️
Fans compare him to Magnus Carlsen and Dommaraju Gukesh, who started playing later. 🌟
