He came awfully close to beating Sergey Karjakin's record, missing by just 17 days. Huge congratulations to the latest Indian super-prodigy, Gukesh Dommaraju, who achieved the grandmaster title at the ripe young age of 12 years, 7 months, and 17 days. Less than five and a half years ago he got his first rating - 1291 - and now, here he is.
More on his achievement, and a positively terrifying list at the end showing just how many near-fetuses have become GMs to boot, here.
