I am a professional young chess player born in 2007. My favorite chess opening is the Queen’s Gambit, which reflects my strategic and positional style of play.

I hold a FIDE rating of 1605 in standard (classical) games and 1552 in rapid games. I have represented Kuala Lumpur in the Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM) for four consecutive years, from 2019 to 2023.

My competitive journey began in 2019, when I achieved 3rd place in Kuala Lumpur, qualifying for my first MSSM tournament. This marked the start of my consistent representation at the national level.

In 2023, I reached my highest achievement by securing 1st place in Kuala Lumpur, once again qualifying for MSSM. During MSSM 2023, I also earned recognition as Top 2 First Board, highlighting my performance against strong opponents at the highest board.

I continue to develop my skills with the goal of achieving higher international ratings and competing at a stronger competitive level.
