Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş IPA: [jaˈɯz kaˈan ˈæɾdoːmuʃ] (born 3 June 2011) 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.
