He was born in Miami, United States, on 30th of July 1992. He grew up in New York and lives in Spain at the moment - with his parents -. But Fabiano Caruana now plays for Italy (his mother is Italian) and almost won the national chess championship in 2006: he finally lost 2.5-1.5 a rapid tie-break against GM Michele Godena. His last achievement is the first place at the First Saturday Tournament in Budapest, Hungary, which took place 4th-14th March 2007. With his great result (7.5/10) he scored his first GM norm. What can we say? Well... congratulations! Here is one of his most brilliant victories in Budapest, against serbian GM Zlatko Ilincic.
