IM Abhimanyu Mishra a.k.a. Abhi started his journey of chess at the age of 2 and a half. He had his first taste of success in his first tournament where he bagged the first position. Then there was no looking back. He went on to become the New Jersey K-3 champion when he was still in Kindergarten.
At the age of 6, he played a simultaneous exhibition game against Current world #2 rated player Super GM Fabiano Caruana. He lost the game but got the fighting spirit award. (videos are at https://www.facebook.com/abhimayumishrachess )
He bagged the silver medal in both North American youth @ Costa Rica and world cadet @ Brazil Under-8 chess tournament to name a few. Growing leaps and bounds in his chess career, he went on to become the youngest ever US Chess Expert and youngest ever US Chess Master.

He was invited by Kasparov Chess Foundation young star program for a rigorous 3-day interview by Legendary world champion Garry Kasparov.
He cleared it in his first attempt and currently being mentored by KCF head coach GM Alexander Chernin from HUN.
Abhimanyu Mishra really stands out in this group with a rating of more than 300 points higher than that of Carlsen at the age of 11. Magnus got his first rating (2064) in April 2001. He was in the U-12 which is very late by modern standards.

Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chessboard; caution, by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life - that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for a change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our problems.
- Benjamin Franklin
