[what is this?]

Grandmaster (2016).

Master Title

Maghsoodloo won a direct award of his IM title by qualifying for the World Cup 2015. In 2016, he was awarded his Grandmaster(8) title with a submission of 4 GM norms by September.

Championships

<Youth> His first FIDE-rated event was in the Iranian U12 Championship in 2011 staged in Esfahan where he scored 6/9. The following year, he competed in the World U12 Championship in Slovenia, placing equal fifth with 8/11, a point behind the joint leaders that included Samuel Sevian. He was equal fifth in the Iranian U14 Championship in 2013 and equal fifth, a point behind the winner Li Di in the world U14 Championship 2013 that was staged in the UAE at the end of the year.

<Regional and National> Maghsoodloo first played in the national championship in 2013, where his score of 4/11, while modest, added a significant boost to his rating. He followed this up with equal first at the Mazandaran (a province of Iran) Chess Championship 2014 and 7/11 at the national championship in 2014, the latter sufficient for equal fourth behind Ehsan Ghaem Maghami, Pouria Darini and Omid Noroozi. He won the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2021 Iranian Championships.

<Continental> Maghshoodloo finished sixth at the Asian Continental Championship (ACC) 2015, and was therefore one of the top five to qualify for the World Cup 2015 as two of the players that finished ahead of him had already qualified. (1)

<World> He qualified for the World Cup (2015) via his result at the ACC 2015 (see above). In the first round he was matched with Wesley So, who defeated him in both games to eliminate Maghsoodloo from the tournament. World U-20 champion 2018. Also in 2018, he won the World Junior Chess Championship with a game in hand, finishing with a score of 9.5/11.

He participated at the FIDE Grand Swiss (2021) getting 6.0 of 11.0

Standard Tournaments

Maghshoodloo's first open FIDE-rated tournament in which grandmasters participated was the 3rd Zendeh Roud International staged in Isfahan in 2011. In his first such outing he scored 5.5/9, albeit not against titled players. Another good early performance was scoring 8/11, a point from the lead, at the Iranian Chess Festival staged in Hamedan in July 2012. The following year in March 2013, he placed equal first at the 3rd Esfahan Norooz Cup Tournament alongside Aryan Gholami, Amohammad M Soozankar, Mehrdad Sedaghati and Ali Asadi. He was equal second behind Homayoon Toufighi at the 6th Baran Cup 2013 that was staged in Rasht and equal third at the 12th Iranian Men Festival (2013). In September 2013, he placed equal second behind Morteza Mahjoob at the Mazandaran Open Cup. In March 2014, he won his first FIDE-rated open when he took out the Qazvin Nowruz Open with 9/11, placing clear first. In August 2014, Maghsoodloo placed a strong equal fourth at the 12th Avicenna International Open staged in Hamedan in Iran, gaining 54 points for this event alone. The following month, he placed equal third behind Toufighi and Masoud Mosadeghpour at the 2nd Khomein Open (in the city of Khomein). He was outright first at the 13th Iranian Men Festival in August 2014, scoring 10/11 and scored a strong 5/9 at the Baku Open (2014), adding 46 rating points for the latter.

At the Tata Steel India Rapid & Blitz (2021) he placed 7th.

Team Events

His first FIDE-rated league participation was in the 2013 Mazandaran League. The following year he played for Iran, scoring 7.5/10 for his team's 3rd board at the 2014 World youth team chess Olympiad(2), 8/10 on 3rd board at the 2015 WYCO(3), in the Khorasan-Shomali league and then in the Iranian Super League. He also played in the Mazandaran League and the Iranian Super League in 2015. He picked up the top board's 1st place along with Alireza Firouzja and Arash Tahbaz (8 out of 9 games played at their 4th seat), as the 3 each scored 7.5 for Iran for a team win at the 2016 World youth chess Olympiad(4). Aryan Gholami picked up 4.5/7 points at 3rd seat and Anahita Zahedifar won one of her 2 games that she was scheduled to play on reserve board, but had to miss one other round.

No harm in that, so long as he does not start playing 1.e4 and 2.Qh5 against all and sundry. One Gavinator over at chess.com was quite enough!

Sep-08-16  fisayo123: I like his approach to chess. A genuine talent.
Jan-26-18  Eastfrisian: He is born on November 8.
Apr-17-18  kardopov: This guy is for real. He is now rising above his horizon and a force to reckon with. Beware the 24 yrs and above who failed to land a berth against Carlsen, for there are plenty of youngsters ready to supplant you, and this guy is among them. Take your bow now and be ready to leave the arena.

  Troller: 7/7 right now in Sharjah Masters! Last 4 rounds he beat Wang Hao, Sethuraman P Sethuraman, Vladislav Artemiev and Gawain Jones. He is playing White against Eltaj Safarli in the penultimate round today.
Apr-18-18  mprodrigues: <Troller: 7/7 right now in Sharjah Masters! Last 4 rounds he beat Wang Hao, Sethuraman P Sethuraman, Vladislav Artemiev and Gawain Jones.>

Was about to post that, fantastic run!

Sep-02-18  1d410: This guy is the future for sure
Sep-12-18  belgradegambit: Currently the leader at the world junior championship.
Sep-13-18  aliasniamor: <Currently the leader at the world junior championship.>

And with a 8.5/9 run so far, no less ! With only 2 rounds to go and 1.5 point lead on the second (many) players of the tournament, he should be able to secure a first place win if nothing goes completely wrong.

Not to mention he also had a 8.5/9 score in the last tournament he played. With these two results he not only entered the live top 100 but is even approching the 2700 mark with a live rating of 2686.5 !!

Sep-13-18  paavoh: Wonderful positional game in round 9 today in WJC.
Sep-14-18  NightKnight: This guy has won 17 out of his last 19 games! 2 draws. Broke 2690 ELO. Could break into 2700 and top 50 in world during olympiad, since the opposition there will have higher ELOs also.
Sep-15-18  paavoh: Despite the last round loss to Esipenko, he has won the World U20 Championship. Congratulations!
Jul-07-19  sonia91: He just won the traditional Leon rapid tournament in Spain after beating Vassily Ivanchuk in the final (it's a KO event). Maghsoodloo beat in the semifinal local GM Jaime Santos Latasa.

Indian prodigy Nihal Sarin also took part in the tourney, but was defeated by Ivanchuk in the semifinals.
