He is 12 but Abhimanyu Mishra has already mastered the world of 64 squares. At the age of 12 years, 4 months and 25 days, the young lad from New Jersey broke the 19-year old record held by Sergey Karjakin who achieved the same feat at the age of 12 years and 7 months. Abhimanyu has been chasing the record and the highest title in the world of chess for the past few months in Hungary where he played various tournaments to improve his ranking. In the past, Abhimanyu was one of the select few young chess players to get training from former World Champion Gary Kasparov.
