Ten-year-old Aarit Kapil from Delhi has become the youngest Indian chess player ever to earn an International Master (IM) norm — a qualifying achievement toward the IM title awarded by the global chess governing body FIDE. The milestone came after he drew with Australia's Samuel Asaka in the final round of an international tournament in Menorca, Spain. Notably, the 10-year-and-seven-month-old also defeated Kazybek Nogerbek, a Grandmaster and former world under-20 champion from Kazakhstan, during the event.
