Chess Champion!

Abhyuday, Grade 5, has been playing chess for most of his short life after being spotted by Mr Sushrutha Reddy who has been his tutor over the years; he was originally coached by Mr Karthik Shetty at TISB. Abhyuday then moved to Chess Shoots Academy Elite Players in his age group in Karnataka.  At 6 years old Abhyuday achieved an International Rating of 1173 and has reached a peak rating of 1498.  He has won the Karnataka State Under 7 and Under 9 Championships in 2016 and 2018 respectively, and also won the State Schools Under 7 and Under 9 titles. He performed solidly in the Nationals and came 14th in the Under 7s (2016) and 8th in the Under 9s (2018) in the National Championships.  He also came 7th in the Commonwealth Championship in 2017, held in Delhi.

Abhyuday regularly participates in FIDE Rated, national, state and monthly chess tournaments and has won many awards, trophies, medals and cash prizes to his credit.  At TISB we are incredibly proud of Abhyuday and his achievements thus far, and have no doubt that he will continue to excel in chess and look forward to following his progress.  Congratulations Abhyuday!
