We have the youngest GM Sergey Karjakin and we have the youngest Master Nicholas Nip but for some reason i can't seem to find who is the youngest International Master.

Am looking for who the youngest ever international master world wide, not just in one country. He would of done it before he was 12, because Sergey Karjakin did it at 11 year old (a few days before turning 12).

I Belive Kayden Troff from Utah.  He Just tuned 11.

Yes but his not even close to International Master. He needs 2400 rating and he only has 2200. Yes, this kid is a chess prodigy and yes he has good chances of become the youngest american International Master. But for him to become the youngest IM ever it would take a huge miracle.

He is the youngesnt indian internation master, not the youngest world wide.

He was born in 1995 and he just turned IM a few months ago. Now lets assume he did it in November 2 2009. And lets also a assume his born in December 31, 1995. Witch is the youngest a guy who born in 1995 can be. Then he would of done it at 13 years old going on 14. Witch is roughly 2 years older then the age Sergey got it at.

i am the youngest grandmaster......at 10 years old....the son nephew of alekhine

We here at chess.com are sorry for not answering your question yet. It's just been so long since somebody asked a question on the forums that is possible to answer.

Judit Polgar was 12 years and 4 months old when she became International Master in 1988.  Hikaru Nakamura was 13 years old and 2 months when he became an IM in 2000.  In 2001, Sergei Karjakin became an IM at 11 years and 11 months, so he is probably the current record-holder.  Parimarjan Negi became an IM at age 12 years 5 months.  Magnus Carsen was 12 years and 7 months in 2003.

I know the guy everybody on here loves was 16 when he became one.

If you're thinking of Fischer, you're way off.
