Abhimanyu Mishra
GM
棋手详情
Abhimanyu Mishra is an American chess grandmaster and one of the defining prodigies of modern chess. He made history in 2021 by becoming the youngest grandmaster ever at 12 years, 4 months, 25 days, surpassing one of the game’s longest-standing age records. What has followed has been more than a record-holder’s afterglow: Mishra continued to build serious classical results, reached a peak rating of 2652 and a peak world ranking of No. 68 in 2025, and entered the world top 100 while still a teenager. His rise gained another layer in 2025, when he defeated reigning world champion Gukesh in a classical game at the FIDE Grand Swiss and added substantial rating gains across the year. By spring 2026, Mishra already looked like more than a prodigy story: he looked like a genuine long-term top-level prospect.
对局风格
Mishra’s style is ambitious, calculation-heavy, and increasingly well balanced for his age. He is comfortable entering sharp theoretical positions, but his recent results suggest more than raw tactical strength: he is also learning how to hold difficult endgames and manage long classical tournaments. That matters because many prodigies shine tactically before they become truly durable professionals. Mishra already looks further along that path than most players his age.
