Chess career and successes

Vincent Keymer (2019)

Vincent Keymer learned to play chess from his parents when he was five. At world and European championships in the youth field, he achieved placements in the top six. With the German U18 national chess team, he was European champion in 2015 and 2017.

In July 2017 he reached his third IM standard at the German Chess Championships in Apolda , where he finished fourth, and became the youngest German International Master to date.

Keymer played in the Oberliga Südwest for SK Gau-Algesheim until the 2016/17 season. It was there that he began working with his long-time coach, the Ukrainian grandmaster Sergei Ovsejevitsch, which is still going on. For the 2017/18 season he moved to the club SF Deizisau and was registered for the 1st team in the German Chess League on board 11. There he reached 5 points from 11 games. Former world champion Garry Kasparov trusted Keymer to advance to the top of the world in March 2016.

Keymer has been coached by former top ten player Péter Lékó since November 2017 . In April 2018, with a result of 8 points from 9 games, he won the Grenke Chess Open in Karlsruhe in front of 49 grandmasters and achieved a norm to become a grandmaster himself. He won the last round with Black against Richárd Rapport and qualified for the Grenke Chess Classic in April 2019. He secured his second GM norm in July 2018 at the Xtracon Open in Helsingør , Denmark , where he already had two rounds to go required points.

At the Grenke Chess Classic in Karlsruhe in October 2019, Keymer scored one win and two draws in nine games against high-class grandmasters and ended up in last place after a tie-break . In this tournament he was defeated by the world champion Magnus Carlsen only after almost seven hours. He achieved his third GM norm in October 2019 at the Grand Swiss Tournament 2019 on the Isle of Man , whereupon he was awarded the title of Grand Master by FIDE at the FIDE meeting at the end of February 2020. He is the youngest chess grandmaster that Germany has ever had.
