Darius Swiercz, a talented Polish-American Grandmaster, has had an interest in chess almost since he learned to walk. He learned the game from his grandfather at just three years old, going on to become a FIDE Master at 11, an International Master at 13, and finally receiving the Grandmaster title in 2009 at 14 years old.
He's got a resumé chock full of outstanding results too. Notably, in 2011, he won the World Junior Chess Championship, having been the only Polish male player to have ever received this accolade. The following year he won the Under-18 World Championship.
In 2016, he finished first in the Millionaire Chess Club in Las Vegas, and in 2018, he began representing the United States in chess competitions. He has been coaching chess since 2020 and has twice been a GM in Residence at the prestigious St. Louis Chess Club. For years he has been a top-100 player in the world.
In 2022, he made his Chessable course debut with the ambitious Lifetime Repertoires: Swiercz's 1.d1 Part 1.
