Mikel Huerga Leache began playing chess at six and won Spain's under-18 championship in 2007. He trained with Jesús de la Villa. His first GM norms came in 2009, but he did not complete the rating requirement until late 2021. FIDE awarded him the title in 2022, making him the first grandmaster from Navarre. At the 2024 Ciudad de Oviedo Open he shared second place on points and led that group on tiebreak.
