A 3-year-old Indian boy has become the youngest player in chess history to earn an official rating. Sarwagya Singh Kushwaha surpassed the minimum requirement at the age of just 3 years, seven months and 20 days. He broke the previous record by about a month by winning five of his eight rated matches. According to local media, the toddler, who’s still in nursery school, enjoys playing chess up to five hours a day.
