For over two decades, I’ve been an active chess competitor, proudly representing India on national and international stages. I’ve won numerous state and national tournaments and competed in prestigious events, including –
Dubai Open (2017) – Played against Alireza Firouzja
Sharjah Open, UAE (2017)
Colombo Open, Sri Lanka (2011)
GACC World Inter-University Championship, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2003)
In India, I’ve participated multiple times in major tournaments like the Delhi Open and Mumbai Open, sharpening my skills against top competition.
Playing chess is more than just a game — it’s a journey of strategy, patience, and mental growth. Every move challenges your focus, sharpens your decision-making, and pushes you to think ahead. Whether you’re opening strong, battling through a tough middle game, or planning a checkmate in the endgame, chess keeps your mind engaged and your creativity alive. It’s a quiet thrill — a blend of logic and imagination — that builds confidence and teaches valuable life skills like discipline, resilience, and foresight.
