Question

Who earned the distinction of becoming India's 96th Chess Grandmaster in June 2026?

The correct answer is

Ethan Vaz

The title of Grandmaster (GM) is the highest lifetime title awarded by FIDE, the world chess body, after a player earns the required norms and crosses the 2500 rating mark.

In June 2026, Ethan Vaz completed the requirements for the title and became India's 96th Grandmaster, adding to the country's fast-growing list of young GMs.

Raunak Sadhwani, Leon Luke Mendonca and Pranav Venkatesh had already earned the Grandmaster title in earlier years, so none of them could be the 96th GM in 2026.

Hence, the answer is Ethan Vaz.
