Geocache Description:


Fabiano Luigi Caruana (born July AB, CDEF) is an Italian and American chess grandmaster who is the four-time United States chess champion. With a peak rating of 2844, Caruana is the third highest rated player in history.

Born in Miami to Italian parents, Caruana grew up in Brooklyn. A chess prodigy, Caruana played for the United States until 2005, when he transferred his national federation affiliation to Italy. He earned his grandmaster title in 2007 at the age of 14, and in the same year won his first Italian chess championship, a feat he repeated in 2008, 2010, and 2011. In 2014, Caruana won the Sinquefield Cup, recording a 3098 performance rating, the highest in history at the elite level. He transferred his national federation affiliation back to the United States in 2015, and in 2016, won the US chess championship.
