In May 2013, Duda achieved his final norm required for the title of Grandmaster, in the European Individual Championship, at the age of 15 years and 21 days. This made him the second youngest grandmaster in the world at the time.[7] Duda also thus became the second youngest Polish grandmaster ever, after Dariusz Świercz. In April 2013, he came first in the First Saturday GM tournament in Budapest.[8] In August, Duda took part as a FIDE presidential nominee in the FIDE World Cup, where he was eliminated in the first round by Vassily Ivanchuk.[9] In October, FIDE officially awarded him the title of Grandmaster.[10] In August 2014, Duda played for the Polish team at the 41st Chess Olympiad in Tromsø, Norway, scoring 8.5/11 on board three.[11] In December 2014, he won the European Rapid Chess Championship[12] and took silver in the European Blitz Chess Championship,[13] both held in Wrocław, Poland.

In January 2020, Duda participated in 2020 Tata Steel Chess Tournament and finished the tournament in 8th place with a score of 6½/13 (+1-1=11), which is the same score as former Chess World Champion Viswanathan Anand, and Alireza Firouzja.

In May 2020, he achieved his first victory over the reigning Chess World Champion Magnus Carlsen by beating him in Round 7 of the Lindores Abbey Rapid Chess Challenge, with the game entering an English Opening (King's English Variation, Four Knights Variation, Quiet Line).[28]

Political views

[edit]

In December 2023, Duda participated at the World Rapid Chess Championship in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. He caused controversy at the event for refusing to shake hands with Russian chess grandmaster Denis Khismatullin before their game in round one. The decision was motivated by his opposition to Khismatullin's vocal support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Duda risked disqualification because refusing a handshake in chess can be interpreted as an insult;[45] however, Khismatullin did not file any official complaint and further released a statement in which he wrote that he respected Duda's right to his opinion.[46][47][48]

Personal life

[edit]

Duda graduated from the University School of Physical Education in Kraków in 2020.[49] He enjoys listening to Beethoven, Mozart, and Queen.[50]
