Career
Born in Paris,[1] Moussard won seven titles at the French youth championships. He is the only player to have won a title in every age category, including the adult championship since his 2022 victory in finals against Étienne Bacrot. In 2002, he won his first title in the French under-8 championship in Hyères, in front of Jacques Netzer. At the under-10 championship in Reims in 2004 he finished behind Stéphane Staatdjian, but won in the same age category the next year in Calvi. In 2006 in Aix-les-Bains, he won the under-12 title. He returned to this city in 2009 to win his fourth title, this time in the under-14 category. Two years later, he won the under-16 championship. Then in Nîmes in 2012, he won the under-18 championship ahead of Christophe Soshacki and Quentin Loiseau. In 2015 in Pau he won his seventh and last French youth championship in the under-20 division, ahead of Pierre Barbot and Raphaël Dutreuil.
Moussard won the silver medal at the World Youth Championships in the Under-10 category in 2004, tied with Yu Yangyi (gold medallist), Hou Yifan (bronze medallist) and Raymond Song (fourth).[2] He received the title FIDE Master for this result.
He was awarded the title of International Master in 2011. FIDE awarded him the title of Grandmaster in 2016.[3] Moussard won the Paris championship in 2016 and 2018.[4] Also in 2018, he won the London Chess Classic FIDE Open on tiebreak score over Nicholas Pert, after both players scored 7½ points out of 9.[5][6]
