Ehsan Ghaem-Maghami (Persian: احسان قائممقامی; born 11 August 1982) is an Iranian chess grandmaster (2000).
His rise in the chess community was swift as he won the Iranian men's championship title by age 14.
An Iranian grandmaster, he ousted the Israeli title holder on 9 February 2011 to regain the Guinness record for simultaneous chess games after facing more than 600 players in over 25 hours.
Let's not talk politics... even if this record was held by another person, I would have gone all out to break it," he said after the matches when asked about ousting Israeli Alik Gershon.
In October 2011, Ehsan Ghaem-Maghami was expelled from the Corsica Masters in Bastia, France for refusing to play in his scheduled match against Israeli player Ehud Shachar.
