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.

Jun-08-22  EvanTheTerrible: Future world champion. He is the second strongest junior, even though his rating does not show it.

He has not played many events recently, so his rating has not caught up to his playing strength. He regularly holds his own with the world elite and it's only a matter of time until he joins their ranks.

Aug-02-22  Little Caezarz: Good storiez above. Nodirbek Abdusattorov is climbing quikly.
Aug-11-22  SymphonicKnight: Not sure how there is no Search Drop-down yet for Abdusattorov, the World Rapid Champion 2021, Olympic Gold Medalist with Uzbekistan 2022 winning Silver for 1st Board performance? The same goes for the other top juniors (besides Esipenko and Firouzja who are already on the list). Isn't it time also for them to get their own drop-down arrows in Search? Gukesh, Erigaisi, Nihal Sarin, Keymer, Niemann, and Praggnanandhaa at least among the junior players? Surely their popularity justifies such, and all are 2650+ players, unlike many already on the list?

Do you work here?

What's up with this censorship business?

Aug-14-22  pinoymaster747: Congrats to SGM Nodirbek, now has 2698 live rating and will join 2700 / top 40 Club soon!

3 exciting teeners, together with GMs Alireza and Gukesh

  OhioChessFan: Abdusattorov did in fact play b2. Carlsen will probably look for a couple minutes then resign.
