Little Dhruvan is the youngest one to play 3 check-mates against 20 players simultaneously at the age of just 5 years

While Chess is the gymnasium of mind, childhood is the gymnasium of dreams. People who  believe in good moves live the game of Chess within them. When it comes to childhood and chess, the connection can really do wonders if Chess is introduced not as just a game, but as a lifestyle. Little Dhruvan has astonished the whole world by being a Chess Champion at the age of just 5 years where he gave 3 check-mates to 20 players simultaneously. World Book of Records, London includes him in its Kids edition 2022.

The normal rules of the games were that the participant had to give 3 checkmates to win. The event was held at the Chess Academy in Hyderabad. It all began from Dhruvan's father- Mr.Srinivasan being inclined towards putting his son into Chess practice and mother taking it forward. Dhruvan's mom Miss Swathi wanted to work on his sitting tolerance and Chess seemed meeting both the criteria for parents.

On being asked about his other qualities, Dhruvan's mom says he is good at multi tasking and that is when she began to ask him to just enjoy the game. Initially it was bit tricky for a child to learn Chess under a trainer at such young age, but with perseverance and the father connecting the dots with Chess, thing began falling in place. Now when the parents look back at it, they can't identify when he began growing.

Academically, Dhruvan is doing good and is praised by all in school. He is very good in logics, writing, reading and language and is a self- disciplined child. He loves cricket and football as outdoor sports. His mother credits his whole journey to his father who encouraged him to play Chess. World Book of Record wishes him all the best for his future endeavour.
