Nihal Sarin

India’s chess star Nihal Sarin was awarded the Gazprom Brilliancy Prize on Sunday for playing the best game during the FIDE Online World Cadets and Youth Championship which was held in the month of December in 2020. The International Chess Federation took to Twitter to announce the same.

The 16-year-old Sarin has been going from strength to strength with his prodigious talent. He achieved Grandmaster status at just 14 and remarkably crossed the ELO rating of 2600 at the same age, thereby becoming the third youngest player in history and the youngest Indian to do so. It is clear that he will only get better with time.
