Caruana, Fabiano

Italian-American grandmaster Fabiano Caruana became the first American to challenge for the World Chess Championship since Bobby Fischer when he faced Magnus Carlsen in 2018, drawing all twelve classical games in an unprecedented result before falling in rapid tiebreaks. A four-time U.S. Champion with a peak rating of 2844, Caruana is one of the highest-rated players in history and remains a perennial contender at the very top of world chess.
