Chess career

Tari has played chess since the age of five.[1] He won the Junior section of the Norwegian Chess Championship in 2012,[2] qualifying him for the championship section in 2013. Following an eighth-place finish in 2013[3] and a second-place finish in 2014,[4] Tari won the 2015 Championship. At age 16 he is the third youngest player to achieve this feat, after Simen Agdestein and Magnus Carlsen, who won at age 15.[5]

At the Open Norwegian Championship in Fagernes in March 2013, Tari finished in seventh place and scored a norm for the title of Grandmaster, the second youngest Norwegian player ever to have done so at the time.[6]

Tari secured his second grandmaster norm over nine rounds at the 2015 European Team Chess Championship in Reykjavik where he played Norway's third board and scored six points.[7] A special FIDE clause for the continental team championships regards this as a 20-game norm,[8] which together with his norm from Fagernes and rating over 2500 is sufficient for the grandmaster title; this title was awarded at the FIDE congress in March 2016. He was Norway's 12th player to be awarded this title.[9]

At the European Individual Chess Championship, played 12–23 May 2016, Tari achieved his best result in his career with 7½/11 (+5–1=5). This gave him a twenty-second-place finish and earned him a berth in the Chess World Cup 2017 in Tbilisi,[10] where he was eliminated in the second round after losing 1½-½ to Aleksandr Lenderman.

In the 2019/2020 season, he played as a foreigner for the Czech Extraliga team SLAVIA Kroměříž.[11][12]

Personal life

Tari was born in Stavanger[13] to Faranak and Siamak Tari, both from Iran who migrated to Norway before his birth.[1]
