Marc’Andria Maurizzi is youngest ever French GM!

Marc’Andria Maurizzi has become a grandmaster at the age of 14 years and 5 days, beating Etienne Bacrot’s record as the youngest ever French Grandmaster that was set 24 years ago in 1997. The Corsican’s 3rd and final GM norm at the 2nd Chartres GM tournament took him ahead of Teimour Radjabov to become the 13th youngest grandmaster in history. Sergey Karjakin holds the all-time record at 12 years and 7 months, though US prodigy Abhimanyu Mishra is pushing to break that record this year.
