The following year, Maghsoodloo was awarded the titles of International Master and Grandmaster by FIDE, and represented his nation at the 42nd Chess Olympiad. He won the Iranian Chess Championship in 2017, 2018 and 2021.[3] Also in 2018, he won the World Junior Chess Championship with a game in hand, finishing with a score of 9½/11, a point ahead of his nearest competitors.[2] His performance rating was 2823.[4]
