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.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
