Anish Sarkar became the youngest FIDE rated player, after an impressive Elo rating of 1555 on Friday. At just three years, eight months and 19 days old, he won the title of youngest FIDE-ranked chess player. Anish made his debut at the 1st All Bengal Rapid Rating Open 2024, where he scored an impressive 5 points in 11 matches. A few weeks later, Anish had the incredible opportunity to play against Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi, India’s top player and world number 4, in a quick ranking tournament.

Although he did not initially qualify, a last-minute opening allowed him to participate as an alternate. This stroke of luck put Anish on a fast track, exposing him to high-level competition and sparking his drive to achieve his first official qualification.

After his match with Erigaisi, Anish faced another big challenge in the West Bengal State Under-9 Open Rankings 2024, where he scored an impressive 5.5 out of 8 and secured 24th place out of 140 participants.

He showed his determination by defeating two ranked players in the final rounds, a remarkable feat for someone of his age and experience.

In pursuit of his FIDE ranking, Anish continued his participation in other ranked tournaments to meet official requirements.

His journey culminated in the West Bengal State Under-13 Open Rankings 2024.
