Indian-Origin Chess Players Achieve Milestones in Competitive and Coaching Careers
Two young Indian-origin chess players have made notable achievements in their careers. Shreyas Royal, a British grandmaster, became the youngest-ever winner of the British Championship at 17, overcoming earlier visa challenges and narrowly missing selection for the English Olympiad team. Meanwhile, Chandrajeet Singh Rajawat, Rajasthan's first Arena Grandmaster, left his IIT aspirations to pursue chess, overcoming early hardships and now runs the Kingdom of Chess academy operating in about 30 countries, mentoring players globally.
