IMMarta Garcia Martin

Marta García Martín was born in El Prat de Llobregat in 2000. After enjoying a tournament at a holiday camp, she asked her parents to enrol her in a chess club. She had previously played casually with her brother, but her family had not expected chess to become a serious pursuit. She developed at the Mislata club in Valencia and became Spanish under-18 girls' champion. Her international youth results included European under-16 silver in 2016 and European youth bronze in 2017.

García Martín became a woman grandmaster in 2018 and an international master in 2019. She won Spain's women's championship in 2022. After runner-up finishes in 2023 and 2024, she regained the title in 2025, finishing ahead of Inés Prado Acebo on tiebreak. She retained it in 2026. She has also represented Spain in international team competitions, including the Olympiad.
