Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus, a 14-year-old chess player from Turkey, has made history by becoming the youngest grandmaster to achieve a 2700 rating, surpassing the previous record held by China's Wei Yi. Erdogmus, who has already set records as the highest-rated 12, 13, and 14-year-old, is also the youngest player to break into the world top 50. His achievement will be officially recognized in the FIDE monthly list for May. Erdogmus has celebrated significant victories, including a 4-2 win against eight-time Russian champion Peter Svidler and a 3.5-2.5 victory over France’s Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. His coach, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, has high aspirations for him, stating that they aim for him to be the first player to reach a 2900 rating. Financial support from Turkish billionaire Evren Ucok has been crucial in providing Erdogmus with access to top-level coaching and competitions. His next tournament will be the TePe Sigeman competition in Malmö, Sweden, featuring prominent players like Magnus Carlsen. Erdogmus has expressed his ambition to continue improving, stating that reaching 2700 was a long-held dream, and he is now focused on achieving 2800.
