💢 Nigel David Short MBE is an English chess grandmaster, chess columnist, chess coach and chess commentator. Short earned the Grandmaster title at the age of 19, and was ranked third in the world by FIDE from January 1988 to July 1989.
🔸 Full name: Nigel David Short
🔸 Country: England
🔸 Born: 1 June 1965 (age 52) Leigh, England
🔸 Title: Grandmaster
🔸 FIDE rating: 2678 (December 2017)
🔸 Peak rating: 2712 (April 2004)
💢 Short first attracted significant media attention as a 10-year-old, by defeating Viktor Korchnoi in a simultaneous exhibition.
In 1977 he became the youngest ever participant in the British Chess Championship by qualifying three days before his 12th birthday.
💢 Two years later, at the British Championship in Chester 1979, the 14-year-old tied for first place with John Nunn and Robert Bellin, earning his first IM norm.
💢 He became (at the time) the youngest International Master in chess history, by scoring 8/15 in the Hastings Premier in 1979/80 and thus breaking Bobby Fischer's record of 1958.
💢 Participating in four World Junior Championships (1980–1983), Short achieved his best result during his first attempt, when he placed second to Garry Kasparov in 1980 at Dortmund.
💢 He was awarded the grandmaster title in 1984, aged 19—becoming the youngest grandmaster in the world at the time.
