Alireza Firouzja To Play In Norway Chess 2026
Firouzja has long been seen as a symbol of the new wave in international chess. He made history by becoming the youngest player ever to reach a 2800 Elo rating, a benchmark achieved by only a select group of chess players. His meteoric rise began early: he earned the grandmaster title at 14 and later became the second-youngest player to cross the 2700 rating mark, achieving it at 16.
The French-Iranian star has also established himself as a consistent contender at the highest level of the game. Firouzja has qualified twice for the FIDE Candidates Tournament: first by winning the FIDE Grand Swiss in 2021 at age 18, and again through the FIDE rating list in January 2024. These achievements have underlined his status as a regular challenger to the world’s elite.
