I am Atharva.Vegaraju, and I am 14 years old. Firstly I wanna set myself a goal which is to be titled at around 15-16 yrs old and if I don’t manage to reach it chess will likely become more of a hobby to me. I will still keep playing online regularly but OTB tournaments I’ll play few per year just to try get rating up.

I love playing chess and I want to be a GM when I grow up and potential top 10 maybe even world champ if all goes well!

Rules,

Play fair no spamming and be nice in chat

Things I like,

I like playing chess, badminton, basketball and I like to watch TV.

I am in 8th grade

About me

I am from INDIA and so are my parents. I moved to the Netherlands when I was 5 and I got interest in chess at 10-11 yrs old(been playing 2-3 years)

Now I would like to share my favorite chess quotes

One doesn't have to play well, it's enough to play better than your opponent

No one ever won a chess game by resigning

My goals for 2026

Rapid: 2200:

blitz: 1700:

bullet: 1700:

daily: 1350:

puzzles: 2200:

Right now I think I am well on my way to all 5 of those goals currently my rapid is 2000 my bullet is 1650 my daily is 1100, my puzzles is 2100 and my blitz is 1750 I am happy with my with my ratings so far but I am gonna try hard to make these goals work. I have reached most of my goals other than daily and puzzles.

Almost every top GM at the age of 14 had probably hit 2300+ elo (FIDE) so I'm far back and I hope to improve quick!

Challenge me if you want to play!

I encourage everyone who wants to become something in chess to pursue their dreams like I'm trying to.

I hope you have an amazing day!

Best of luck If you are my opponent, I will try my best to crush you! So watch out! Hopefully you do get crushed by me but good luck!

I also have a F.I.D.E chess rating in classical chess which is now 1718. Watch me outgrow you all! Hopefully I can give you a challenge in our games!

Till next time, see ya!

Good luck!!
