Timeline

1984

Vinay Subrahmanya Bhat (born June 4, 1984) is an American chess player who holds the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM)

Bhat first learned to play chess at the age of 6.

His mother taught him and his older brother, Harish (now a professor at UC Merced) how to play.

The two brothers started playing in the Kolty Chess Club in Campbell every Thursday night.

Bhat spent his early years studying the games of Paul Morphy and José Raúl Capablanca as a part of the Blue Knights.

"That was my steady diet," Bhat said.

Bhat studied chess with GM Gregory Kaidanov.

At 10 years and 176 days old, Bhat became the youngest national master, breaking the record previously held by Jordy Mont-Reynaud (10 years and 294 days), Stuart Rachels (11 years and 10 months), and before that by Bobby Fischer (age 13).

Since then, his record has been broken three times, by Hikaru Nakamura, Nicholas Nip, and Samuel Sevian.

1998

In 1998, Bhat contributed to "Whiz Kids Teach Chess" (ISBN 1-58042-007-9) with Eric Schiller.

At the age of 15 years and 10 months, Bhat became an International Master, at the time the youngest ever in U.S. history; this record was later surpassed by Hikaru Nakamura, Samuel Sevian, Ray Robson, and is presently held by Awonder Liang.

2002

Bhat graduated from Lynbrook High School in San Jose, CA, in 2002.

While at Lynbrook, he played on his school's chess team, leading it to victory in local state and high-school competitions.

2004

In 2004, while an undergraduate, Bhat co-founded the East Bay Chess Club.

Until receiving the Samford Fellowship, Bhat was employed at Cornerstone Research, an economic consulting firm headquartered in Menlo Park, CA.

2006

Instead of focusing solely on chess, Bhat chose to continue his education and received a B.S. in Statistics and Political Economy from the University of California, Berkeley in 2006.

2008

After taking an extended break from chess, Bhat began to play regularly again in 2008.

On April 22, 2008, it was announced that Vinay was awarded the 2008 Samford Fellowship.

This fellowship was created to "identify and assist the best American chessmasters under the age of twenty-five by providing top-level coaching, strong competition and access to study materials."

Bhat was awarded with the title of International Grandmaster in October 2008 when he crossed 2500 FIDE, with his three Grandmaster norms coming from Qingdao (China, 2002), Balaguer (Spain, 2006), and Balaguer (Spain, 2007).

2010

After two-and-a-half years of professional chess play, Bhat began working full-time again in December 2010.

He worked at Shipt, where he was the Head of Data Science.
