There's a women grandmaster title too. It's also possible for a woman to be a grandmaster, i.e. non-WGM, but she can only get the title if she plays men or other women who are GM's, and not WGM's.

12-year-old grandmaster Abhimanyu (“Abhi”) Mishra from Englishtown, New Jersey is the youngest grandmaster (GM) in history, breaking the record formerly held by Russian GM Sergey Karjakin. Karjakin set the record in 2002 and went on to unsuccessfully challenge GM Magnus Carlsen in a 2016 World Championship match.
To be so good at such an age is amazing.

Zero chance that kid's even close to normal, though.

Not to mention he’s from NJ. That alone gives him a net age of 7.

By definition a grand master is not normal.

You want everybody to be normal? Who are you, and what have you done with the normal AL?

If anybody's interested, there's a movie on Netflix, Magnus, that follows the world number 1, and arguably the strongest ever player, as a child. He actually appears quite a bit more normal than you would expect, other than the chess gift.

He's pretty concerned with whether people are invited to parties.
