Luis Paulo Supi (born October 10, 1996) is a Brazilian chess player holding the title of grandmaster.

Career

Born in Catanduva, São Paulo,[1] Supi was awarded the titles FIDE Master and International Master by FIDE in 2013.

In May 2015, Supi played in an online blitz tournament hosted by the Internet Chess Club. Supi defeated Hikaru Nakamura,[2] the top blitz player at the time[3] who then accused Supi of cheating. The tournament judges accepted Nakamura's accusation, reverted the match's result, and banned Supi from the tournament. Rafael Leitão later analyzed the match, stating "Accusing him of using an engine in this match is absurd! The match is full of tactical mistakes. Nakamura played extremely poorly and, honestly, wouldn't have survived long against any engine given his terrible opening."[4].

He won the Pan American Junior Championship in 2016 on tiebreak from Kevin Joel Cori Quispe of Peru. Both players had scored 8 points.[5]

In 2018, he was awarded the title of grandmaster.[6] He then represented Brazil in the 2018 Chess Olympiad, finishing with a score of 6½/10 (+5-2=3) on board three.[7]

In an online blitz game played in May 2020, Supi defeated reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen in 18 moves after sacrificing his own Queen.[8] The match received worldwide attention as Carlsen broadcast it live, and was left speechless after his defeat.[9] In April 2021, Chess.com awarded that game the first spot in their Chess.com Immortal Game Contest.[10]

On November 4, 2021, he became Brazilian Chess Champion (87th Brazilian Absolute Chess Championship).[11]
