Daniil Dubov grew up in Moscow and learned chess at six. His grandfather Eduard was an international arbiter and mathematician. Dubov won European youth medals and helped Russia take gold at the 2009 World Under-Sixteen Olympiad. He became a grandmaster in 2011, shortly before turning fifteen. His imaginative attacking play later made him a distinctive figure among the world's leading players.
In 2018 he won the World Rapid Championship in Saint Petersburg. He also worked on Magnus Carlsen's world-championship preparation, returning to the team for the 2021 match. Dubov won the 2020 Lindores Abbey Rapid Challenge by defeating Ding Liren in the semifinal and Hikaru Nakamura in the final. In 2022 he won the Russian Championship after an Armageddon playoff against Sanan Sjugirov. His celebrated games include a queen sacrifice against Sergey Karjakin at the 2020 Russian Championship.
