Nijat Abasov was born in Baku in 1995. He became an International Master in 2009 and a grandmaster in 2011, completing his final norm by winning the Azerbaijani Solidarity Day tournament. Victory at the 2015 Cultural Village tournament earned him a place in the Tata Steel Challengers. He won both the Azerbaijani Championship and the Baku Open in 2017. At the 2023 World Cup he eliminated Anish Giri, Peter Svidler, Salem Saleh and Vidit Gujrathi to reach the semifinals. He finished fourth after losing to Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen’s decision to decline his Candidates place allowed Abasov to enter the 2024 Candidates Tournament in Toronto. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov helped him prepare for that event, where he finished eighth.
