Early Life
Niaz Murshed was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to Manzur Murshed and Najma Ahmed. He developed a keen interest in chess at a very young age, when he picked up the game from his older brother. Murshed grew up at an area (Eskaton) where chess was very popular. His neighbor was Jamilur Rahman, who later became a national champion himself. These favorable conditions may have contributed to the young Murshed's devotion to chess. Murshed passed his SSC exam in 1983 from St. Joseph High School and HSC exam in 1985 from Dhaka College.
