Two days later he beat his father, his first teacher, at the game and has been unstoppable ever since.  Recognising the potential and witnessing his son’s keen interest in the game, Nivaan’s father enlisted him for professional training.  The young chess master has lived up to his potential and gone on to win 51 trophies, 12 medals, and even defeated much more experienced players such as Ranjan Kotian (age 30) and Dwaipayan Basu (age 44). Besides his immediate family, Nivaan’s coach Vishwanath Sandilya from South Mumbai Chess Academy (SMCA) plays a major role in the grooming of the prodigy. Sandilya, has crafted a holistic training programme which takes care of not just Nivaan’s chess training, but also his nutrition and fitness. This helps to ensure that Nivaan can be in his optimal state when the tournament season kicks in.
