Niaz Murshed is a Bangladeshi chess grandmaster. In 1987, at 21 years old, he changed into the essentially South Asian to acquire the Grandmaster title.


Early life:


Murshed was brought into the world in Dhaka, Pakistan (before long Bangladesh), to Manzur Murshed and Najma Ahmed. He got the game from his more pre-arranged family. His neighbour was Jamilur Rahman, who later changed into a public legend himself. These positive circumstances might have added to the youthful Murshed's commitment to chess.

Murshed finished his SSC test in 1983 from St. Joseph Higher Partner School and HSC test in 1985 from Dhaka School.


National level chess:


As a nine-year-old, Murshed entered the preparation rounds of the public chess title. Notwithstanding the way that he neglected to qualify, he enduringly impacted all present. By the age of 12, he was considered [by whom?] one of the top players in Bangladesh.

In 1978, he completed first in the public title with two others, in any case put third on an unforeseen passing round. He kept on overwhelming the opposition for the going with four public titles in 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982.

He changed into the public chief again following 30 years in 2012.


International chess:


In 1979, Murshed played in his most vital in general rivalry at Kolkata, India. In 1981, put second in the zonal challenge, held in Sharjah, UAE that very year, getting his General Expert Title in the mean time.

In a little while, he tied for first in the Asian Junior Title, held in Dhaka, yet was counted second on tiebreak since he had less wins (and difficulties) than Ricardo de Guzman (Philippines) who was permitted the title and changed IM.

Murshed partook in the 1982 World Junior Chess Title, and despite the way that he neglected to rehash his new achievement, his game against Lars Schandorff of Denmark (later a grandmaster) was picked as the best round of the resistance.

Murshed acquired his most fundamental Grandmaster standard in 1984 because of his outcome in Bela Crkva Open, Yugoslavia (1983), Oakham School Youth Challenge (before Nigel Short and Saying Dlugy), Ward Chess Title, Hong Kong 1984.

He acquired his second grandmaster standard in 1986, by virtue of solid areas for him in Capstain Overall Competition, Dhaka (1985) and Calcutta Grandmasters Challenge, Calcutta (1986). In 1987, FIDE surrendered him the Grandmaster title, making him the fundamental GM in South Asia.

Ensuing to getting his drawn out Bachelor education in Economics, Murshed got back to chess. By and by, his playing declined when he found it hard to change as per the new season of data driven chess.

In any case, he truly made strides occasionally in the general scene: first in the Goodrich, India (1991), second in the GM Challenge, Cebu, Philippines (1992), third in the Doha Chess Merriment, Qatar (1993), T-first spot with two particular challengers in the zonal contention), (all in all, T-second spot in the Republic Chess Title in 2004.

In November 2009 he tied for third eighth with Anton Filippov, Elshan Moradiabadi, Merab Gagunashvili, Alexander Shabalov and Vadim Malakhatko in the Ravana Challenge in Colombo.
