Second youngest GM at age 13 years, 4 months and 22 days

[edit]

There was a confusion about second or third youngest grandmaster because the information on Magnus Carlsen was wrong: 13 years, 4 months (not 3) and 27 days.

Stanford and future

[edit]

Further to the recent edits on the article, Stanford Daily has a Q&A with Negi where he explains his thinking. The article may need re-wording. Basically he tried being a professional for a couple of years and he felt it wasn't working, thus he is now at Stanford, though he notes his recent chess books work is helping to pay for it. Personally I wouldn't mention a professional status because its a nightmare trying to judge when such a thing begins. Jkmaskell (talk) 12:16, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

[edit]

The article originally stated he was born in New Delhi, then on 8 September 2014 an anonymous user changed it to Uttarakhand without providing any source. I have found on several websites, such as FIDE (GM norm certificate), ChessBase stating he was born in New Delhi. Sophia91 (talk) 19:41, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
