NODIRBEK ABDUSATTOROV (born Sep-18-2004, 20 years old) Uzbekistan [what is this?] Nodirbek Abdusattorov was awarded the title of FIDE Master after becoming the 2012 Under-8 World Champion. He achieved the IM title in 2017. On October 29, 2017, he became the second-youngest Grandmaster in history (behind Sergey Karjakin) at the age of 13 years, 1 month, and 11 days, a position he held until June 2018 when Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa became a GM before age 13. He was the runner-up (behind Nihal Sarin) at the World U10 Championship 2014. He scored 6/10 as his team's 4th board at the 2014 World Youth Team Chess Olympiad. At the World Cup (2021) he eliminated Chithambaram V R Aravindh and then Anish Giri 3-1 (+2 -0 =2), before falling to Vasif Durarbayli 4-2 (+2 -4). He finished third at the Kramnik Challenge (2021), and second (+8 -1 =6) at the Tolstoy Memorial (2021). At the FIDE Grand Swiss (2021) he broke even with 5.5/11 (+2 -2 =7). At the World Rapid Championship (2021) he achieved one of the most shocking results by an outsider in chess history, the rapid equivalent of Harry Nelson Pillsbury 's immortal triumph at Hastings (1895). Abdusattorov scored 9.5-3.5, tying for first with World Champion Magnus Carlsen, 2021 world championship challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi, and 2018 challenger Fabiano Caruana. En route, he defeated, among others, Carlsen, Caruana, world No. 6 Levon Aronian, and 2012 world championship challenger Boris Gelfand. Of the four tied players, Abdusattorov had the best tiebreaks and Nepomniachtchi the second best, so the two of them advanced to a playoff for the title. Abdusattorov won 1.5-.5, winning the title to become, at 17, the youngest World Rapid Champion ever.

But Ferocious Ali seemed the Next Big Thing, and that really hasn't panned out yet. Jan-24-23    Whitehat1963: I think he’s definitely ready for prime time. Jan-29-23    EvanTheTerrible: He just missed out on winning Tata Steel. I'm sure he'll win it multiple times in years to come.

Keep in mind that Fabiano Caruana has challenged for the classical world chess championship, so he's a real professional. Nodirbek Abdusattorov was put to the test and played like Harry Houdini!! Sep-03-23    Saniyat24: 2716 rated now Oct-21-23    waustad: Two strong young players from Uzbekistan named Nodirbek having it out in the tie break for first place in a tournament including Carlsen and Nakamura. Big props for both of the young lads. Oct-21-23    waustad: And, the one we’ve heard of lost. Jan-21-24    Sally Simpson: Nodirbek in an interview at chess.com based on him taking Carlsen's place in the Candidates. "Thanks to him I have this chance." "It's not like I am working only the next three months. I have been working on chess for the past 20 years, so nothing has changed." https://www.chess.com/news/view/aba... Jan-21-24    Bobby Fiske: Sally: It's the Azerbaijani GM Nijat Abasov Feb-26-24    EvanTheTerrible: As a newly minted 2750, Abdusattorov will be the #1 seed in the Prague Masters, starting tomorrow. I'm probably more excited for this event than the Candidates Tournament. It's a round robin that consists of most of the strongest juniors, plus some of the most exciting non-juniors out there. I do wish that Erigaisi was included in the field. It seems that he's getting excluded more often than not when organizers are selecting from the top Indian juniors. Feb-26-24    goodevans: <Bobby Fiske: Sally: It's the Azerbaijani GM Nijat Abasov> One clue to it not being Abdusattorov is how difficult it would have been for him to "have been working on chess for the past 20 years". 😉 Feb-26-24    goodevans: <... Abdusattorov will be the #1 seed in the Prague Masters, starting tomorrow.> Has anyone tracked down the cg page for this event? With such a big event only a day away the page must have been set up by now, surely? Feb-26-24    MissScarlett: Is this meant to be a prompt? I'm busy with some games from the 1848 <CPC>. Try again Wednesday. Mar-02-24    EvanTheTerrible: Abdusattorov broke into the top 5 in the world with his win over Bartel today. He also passed Alireza, so he is his generation's new #1. Mar-06-24    EvanTheTerrible: Aagaard shared that he told Abdusattorov that he thinks he is the second best player in the world. Mar-06-24    Check It Out: Congrats on winning the Prague Masters with a round to spare and reaching #4 on the ratings list! Mar-06-24    fabelhaft: “Aagaard shared that he told Abdusattorov that he thinks he is the second best player in the world” No need to insult Abdusattorov like that… Mar-07-24    Check It Out: The Carlsen-hate runs strong. Mar-08-24    EvanTheTerrible: Abdusattorov revealed that he's been working with Aagaard for the past two years and attributes his big jump to Aagaard's work. Mar-13-24    EvanTheTerrible: Abdusattorov will be playing in the Tepe Sigeman tournament this year. Looks like another good field. Abdusattorov, Erigaisi, Keymer, Svidler, Grandelius, Korobov, Maurizzi, and Ju Wenjun. Jul-01-25    offramp: <Nervouswreck HadToSitOppoThat>.
