International Master requires 2400 rating and three norms. Manan Reza Nest's rating is already 2450. The nest already had two norms. He has fulfilled all the conditions to become an international master by getting the third norm on Friday.

Arbiter of Bangladesh Chess Federation Harunor Rashid confirmed the International Master of Nest. "With today's win Neer has achieved another norm as an international master," he said.

Neer became an international master at the age of 15. Niaz Morshed, the first grandmaster of the subcontinent, also received the International Master title at the age of 15.

Meanwhile, the number of international masters in chess in Bangladesh now stands at five through Nest. They are Zillur Rahman Champak, Abu Sufian Shakeel, Minhaj Uddin Sagar, Fahad Rahman and Manan Reza Nir. Among these five, Fahad Rahman has a GM norm. Fahad is also playing this tournament in Hungary. Fahad has the potential to become another GM norm if he wins the last round on Saturday.

After the Olympiad, three men and two women chess players from Bangladesh are playing three chess tournaments at their own expense in Budapest. Wadifa Ahmed won the Women's International Master Norm in the first tournament. Neer became the International Master in the second tournament. Fahadh is likely to get GM norms. Bangladesh chess norms and ratings are expected to increase from the third tournament.
