GMJules Moussard

Jules Moussard was born in Paris in 1995. He won his first French youth title in the under-8 championship in 2002. At the 2004 World Under-10 Championship, he took silver in a leading group that also included Yu Yangyi and Hou Yifan. That result brought him the FIDE master title. He won seven French youth championships, progressing through every age category from under-8 to under-20.

Moussard became an international master in 2011 and a grandmaster in 2016. His final youth title came in the under-20 championship at Pau in 2015. He won the Paris championship in 2016 and again in 2018. At the 2018 London Chess Classic open, he finished ahead of Nicholas Pert on tiebreak after both scored 7½/9. In 2022, he defeated Étienne Bacrot in the national final to become French champion. That victory completed his sequence of French titles across all youth divisions and the adult championship.
