Abdullah Al-Rakib (born December 2, 1980) is a Bangladeshi chess Grandmaster. He won the Bangladeshi Chess Championship in 2013.[1]

Career[]

On September 25, 2007, he became the 4th GM from Bangladesh.[2] Rakib should have had his recognition after April at the Board meeting of FIDE. According to Bangladesh Chess Federation, it was a misunderstanding that caused the delay. However, the recognition came in the Presidential Board meeting of FIDE held in September 13–14 in Mexico. Rakib said, "Being Grandmaster is a particular recognition. It does not mean my game restricts here. I know very well about my weaknesses. I have to fix them".[3] Rakib had his first norm in 2001 at Kolkata in "Asian International Chess Competition" and the second one at the "Grandmasters Tournament" of Leonine Chess Club. He achieved his last required norm in April 2007 at the National Championship.[4]

His best results are: 1st at Dhaka 2004; 1st at Destiny Open, Bangladesh 2004; 1st Dhaka 2005; 1st at Mercantile Bank, Bangladesh 2007.

He has represented Bangladesh in seven Chess Olympiads.
