 Parimarjan Negi of Delhi became India's youngest International Master when he completed his third and final title norm in the Sort International Open in Spain recently. He had completed his first IM norm at Bad Weissee Open in Germany in 2003 and the second in the Dubai Open 2005.
Trained by GM Evgeny Vladimirov (Kaz) and others, Negi has been a promise right from 2002. He became an IM at age 12 and four months. He is the nation's youngest title holder. Having a rating of 2376, his rating is on the way up. He has become an experienced player travelling from one event to the other without much gap.
One can expect something big from his talent before he moves out of the Junior block. His father J.B.Singh works in Delhi's airport. His parents offer a strong backing. All his norms had come from Open Tournaments and this speaks that he is a worthy achiever in chess. Negi could become the nation's youngest grandmaster as well.
