Nigel David Short is recognized as the strongest British grandmaster of the 20th century. Born on June 1, 1965, he gained early fame by defeating Viktor Korchnoi and Tigran Petrosian in simultaneous exhibitions at ages ten and twelve. At 14, he became the youngest International Master in history, surpassing Bobby Fischer’s record, and at 16, he placed second to Garry Kasparov in the under-20 World Junior Championship in Dortmund. In 1985, Short was Britain’s first candidate for the World Championship, reaching the final in 1993 after defeating Anatoly Karpov and Jan Timman, ultimately losing to Garry Kasparov. He has remained active in high-level chess while also becoming a columnist, commentator, and coach for young talents. Known for his entertaining and outspoken personality, Short shares his experiences in his DVDs, “Greatest Hits,” highlighting a career that includes victories over twelve world champions. His narratives, filled with humor and insights, accompany the annotated games, showcasing his extensive tournament experience across 89 countries.
