I am wondering who is the fastest player to become a GM (I mean like from starting to learn chess to becoming a GM) and also how many years it took them.
Either Paul Morphy or Bobby Fischer. I think Fischer was 14 or 15 when he became US Chess Champion and Grandmaster.
Sergey Karjakin became GM at 12, didn't he?
GM Timur Gareyev, the current blindfold chess world record holder, started playing when he was a teenager and achieved the GM title after 3 years.
Not sure if he is the fastest ever, but it's still impressive.

Hello, @NemPlayer;
As said @DarkMano, the youngest person to get the Grand Master title was Sergey Karjakin with 12 years old. He started to play chess when he was 5, so he needed, to become a Grand Master, 7 years.

Adolf Anderssen just came, win and became GM =)
Legend says Paul Morphy was a GM the moment he left his mother's womb. <3
Didnt Magnus become GM when he was 13? If so, seems like the list outdated.

To this day, S. Karjakin is the fastest person to get the Grand Master title. It has been known years ago.
