Ethan Vaz, a teenage chess player from Goa, became India's 96th Grandmaster in June 2026.

He secured his third and final GM norm by winning the Sarajevo GM Mix tournament in Bosnia and Herzegovina, finishing the event unbeaten.

He also became Goa's third Grandmaster, with the title subject to formal FIDE ratification.
