Sergey Karjakin's record as the youngest-ever GM, which he achieved aged 12 years, 7 months, remains intact for now - though the record is looking pretty soft these days. But he now has company, as a second 12-year-old has also achieved the requirements for the grandmaster title. That players is Nodirbek Abdusattarov of Uzbekistan, and you can read more about his accomplishment here. Congratulations to the youngster, who has bumped Parimarjan Negi into the #3 spot all-time and Magnus Carlsen into #4.
