Timeline
Ian Rogers (born 24 June 1960) is an Australian chess player, trainer and writer.
Rogers is the first Australian-raised chess grandmaster (Walter Browne achieved the title earlier but grew up in the US and represented Australia only from 1969 to 1972).
He won the Australian Chess Championship four times—in 1980, 1986, 1998, and 2006—and holds the record for the most wins (either outright or on tie-break) at the traditional Doeberl Cup, with 12.
His best single performance was at the Belgrade Open in 1984.
He was awarded the title Grandmaster by FIDE in 1985.
Before turning professional, Rogers completed a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from the University of Melbourne.
He is married to Cathy Rogers, herself an International Arbiter, Woman FIDE Master, and a lawyer.
Rogers attained the Grandmaster title in 1985 after becoming an International Master in 1980.
He was Australia's highest-rated player for over twenty years, and he represented Australia at fourteen Chess Olympiads (twelve of them on first board).
Rogers has won more than 120 classical chess tournaments, including fifteen round-robin grandmaster tournaments.
Among his career highlights are three consecutive victories from 1988 to 1990 in the grandmaster tournament in Groningen (outright by a clear point in 1988 and 1989, a point ahead of Viswanathan Anand, and jointly in 1990).
He was a panellist for BBC television during their 1993 World Championship coverage and covered numerous major championships for news agency Reuters.
Rogers has also worked as a public commentator at high-level matches and tournaments around the world, including at World Championship and Candidates matches in London, and commentating on tournaments in Wijk aan Zee, Moscow and Saint Louis.
Rogers was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1996 Australia Day Honours for his service to chess.
Rogers also streams on Twitch under the account gmianr.
Rogers' peak international ranking was 50th in the world in May–June 1999, and he was the highest-ranked Australian player from 1984 until his retirement in 2007.
In 2005, he was awarded the title of FIDE Senior Trainer.
Rogers retired from competitive chess on medical advice in 2007.
However, while no longer participating in tournaments, Rogers remains active within the Australian chess scene.
Throughout his competitive career and more so since his retirement from competitive chess in July 2007, Rogers has reported on many tournaments for various media outlets, with photographic assistance from Cathy Rogers.
