Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş
Turkish chess grandmaster (born 2011)
Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş IPA: [jaˈɯz ka.an erˈdoːmuʃ] is a Turkish chess grandmaster. A chess prodigy, he was awarded the International Master title prior to turning 12, becoming the youngest individual from Turkey to achieve that title. In 2024, he became the fourth-youngest grandmaster in history at the time, and, later that year, the youngest player ever to reach a FIDE rating of 2600. Subsequently, in May 2026, he became the youngest player in history to reach a rating of 2700, besting the previous record by almost a year. Erdoğmuş was the youngest grandmaster in the world from April 2024 to May 2026, when Faustino Oro, who is two years and four months younger, claimed that title.

Why this record matters
The phrase “turkish chess grandmaster (born 2011)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The first chronological checks are 2024 and 2026.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
