🌟 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐈 𝐀𝐦

Hello and namaste! I’m Rishi, a passionate chess player on a journey of self-improvement through the beautiful, complex world of chess. I play not just to win, but to learn, grow, and respect the art of thinking.

I believe chess is a reflection of life — strategy, patience, focus, and the courage to take risks. Whether it's a brilliant tactic or a painful blunder, every move shapes me into a better version of myself — on and off the board.

Vishy Anand is the reason I fell in love with chess.
From his lightning speed to his calm presence, he’s a role model both on and off the board.

🧡 “He made us believe that champions can be humble too.”

His games teach me the value of calculation, humility, and timing. He didn’t just play chess — he led a generation.
