About Me

December, 2022

How I started playing chess

I started playing chess In late 2022, around December. At this point, I was playing for fun online on chess.com and lichess, until I discovered chess tournaments. I soon started learning chess in an academy and playing frequently in tournaments. I started earning many medals and trophies starting as early as my second-ever chess tournament!

How I progressed in chess

After these few months of success, I changed my academy and joined an even bigger and better club which helped me improve my chess strength at an impressive speed. In just a few months after joining this new club I was already defeating rated players! It was a huge achievement for me and soon after that tournament, I played the most important tournament so far: Maheshwaranand Saraswati Rating Tournament. In this tournament, I played exceptionally well and defeated many rated players, which helped me achieve an international FIDE rating of 1084.
