◼️ Fabiano Caruana
β–ͺ️ American-Italian chess Grandmaster
β–ͺ️ World Chess Championship 2018 Challenger

πŸ”° Fabiano Luigi Caruana is an Italian-American chess grandmaster. A chess prodigy, he became a grandmaster at the age of 14 years, 11 months and 20 daysβ€”the youngest grandmaster in the history of both Italy and the United States at the time.

He will play a match with Magnus Carlsen for the World Chess Championship today, only one hour later!!

πŸ”° Born in Miami to Italian-American parents, Caruana grew up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and started playing chess at age 5. He played for the United States until 2005, when he transferred to Italy. He earned his grandmaster title in 2007, and in the same year won his first Italian Chess Championship, a feat he repeated in 2008, 2010 and 2011. He won the Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting in 2012, 2014 and 2015. He also won the Sinquefield Cup 2014, recording a historic 3103 performance rating and improving his Elo rating to 2844, becoming the third-highest-rated player in history. He transferred back to the US in 2015.
