 Bobby Fischer of the United States attained both titles solely by virtue of qualifying for the 1958 Interzonal (IM title) and 1959 Candidates Tournament (GM title), entirely bypassing the usual process of achieving norms at each level only incidentally becoming IM before GM.The more usual path is first to become an IM, then move on to the GM level.At 10 years, 9 months, and 20 days, Abhimanyu Mishra became the youngest-ever person to hold an IM title in 2019.
