About
I started playing chess when I was 8, became an IM at 14, and a GM at 20. I’ve worked with both the Indian men’s and women’s teams in many official events like olympiad,Asian games etc , which gave me a lot of memorable experience. I really enjoy chess discussions and analysis, Every now and then, I also like to play tournaments just to see how I’m doing.
