Grigoriy Oparin was born in Munich in 1997. By five, he was spending several hours a day playing chess and solving positions. He earned the grandmaster title in 2013 and won the Russian junior championship the following year. Later he moved into American university chess, joining the University of Missouri as a graduate student and a member of its first chess team. He trained there under Cristian Chirila.
As team captain, Oparin won the individual title at the 2021 U.S. Online Collegiate Blitz Championship, bringing Missouri its first national chess title. That year he also tied Fabiano Caruana for second at the FIDE Grand Swiss in Riga. The tiebreak placed Oparin third, narrowly denying him a Candidates place, but qualified him for the 2022 Grand Prix. He began representing the United States in 2022.
