Bharath Subramaniyam (born 17 October 2007) is an Indian chess grandmaster.
He learned chess at the age of five years from his father Harishankkar. Starting from 2014, he attended the "Chess Gurukul" school in Chennai, having GM Ramachandran Ramesh as his main teacher. From March 2019, Bharath also started attending training sessions by GM Alexander Goloshchapov. The sessions were useful in improving his positional play and helped him to reach his norms faster. In January 2020, Bharath was selected for a special training camp sponsored by Microsense networks conducted by former World champion GM Vladimir Kramnik and former World chess challenger GM Boris Gelfand. Bharath is currently training with Indian chess Grandmaster Shyam Sundar.
He completed his 3rd IM norm in June 2019, at the age of 11 years and 8 months.[1] The title was officially ratified by FIDE in September of the same year.[2]
In January 2022 Bharath earned his third and final GM norm to become India's 73rd grandmaster at the age of 14, by scoring 7.5/9 at the Vergani Cup Open in Cattolica, Italy, and raising his live rating above 2500.[3][4] As of August 15, 2023, he is the youngest Indian grandmaster.
