Hey everyone!

My name is Ronak Hiwale and I am a 16 year old chess player who crossed 2200 USCF in October 2024 and got the NM title. My current fide rating is 2105. Next goal is to achieve the FM title and ultimately the GM title.

Currently not playing much otb, hope to return in the future

Rest in peace, Danya Naroditsky. I grew up watching his videos, and his teaching played a huge impact in my early years as a chess player. He had a gift for chess, and his commentary always showed both depth and his love for the game. His talent and understanding of chess were extraordinary, but what made him truly special was how much he gave back through teaching. I am especially grateful that I once had the chance to play him in a simul at the Elite Chess Camp in Charlotte, where I managed to hold him to a draw. This is a moment I will never forget. His impact on the chess world and on so many players will last forever. Absolute legend.

Also in the Elite Camp Simuls
