Kolkata-based chess player Aronyak Ghosh has become India’s 95th Grandmaster (GM). He secured his final GM norm at the Bangkok Chess Club Open 2026 held in Thailand. The Grandmaster title is the highest title awarded to chess players by FIDE, the world chess body, and players must earn norms and reach a set rating to receive it. Ghosh’s achievement adds to India’s fast-growing pool of elite chess players.
