Aryan Tari (Persian: آریـن طاری; born 4 June 1999) is a Norwegian chess grandmaster. He was Norwegian Chess Champion in 2015 and won the World Junior Chess Championship in 2017.
Chess career
Tari has played chess since the age of five.[1] He won the Junior section of the Norwegian Chess Championship in 2012,[2] qualifying him for the championship section in 2013. Following an eighth place finish in 2013[3] and a second place finish in 2014,[4] Tari won the 2015 Championship. At age 16 he is the third youngest player to achieve this feat, after Simen Agdestein and Magnus Carlsen who won at age 15.[5]
At the Open Norwegian Championship in Fagernes in March 2013, Tari finished in seventh place and scored a grandmaster norm, the second youngest Norwegian player ever to have done so at the time.[6]
Tari secured his second grandmaster norm over nine rounds at the 2015 European Team Chess Championship in Reykjavik where he played Norway's third board and scored six points.[7] A special FIDE clause for the continental team championships regards this as a 20-game norm[8] which together with his norm from Fagernes and rating over 2500 is sufficient for the grandmaster title; this title was awarded at the FIDE congress in March 2016. He was Norway's 12th player to be awarded this title.[9]
At the European Individual Chess Championship, played 12–23 May 2016, Tari achieved his best result in his career with 7½/11 (+5–1=5). This gave him a twenty-second place finish and earned him a berth in the Chess World Cup 2017 in Tbilisi,[10] where he was eliminated in the second round after losing 1½-½ to Aleksandr Lenderman.
Personal life
Tari is from Lierskogen near Drammen. His parents both emigrated from Iran to Norway before his birth.[1]
