The 19 year old, who is in his third year of engineering studies in Chennai. He’s set to compete in the Abu Dhabi International tournament starting August 15.
Rohith said,“Finally, reaching my dream of becoming a Grandmaster – a goal I’ve been chasing since 2013 has filled me with great relief and happiness. I will always cherish the friends, family, and mentors who were there for me during tough times, pushing me to keep going. This isn’t the end. It’s merely the start of a longer journey ahead”.
Rohith expressed gratitude for the backing he received from his school and college (Sunshine, Velachery, and SSN) which made his journey to becoming a GM much smoother.
“There were moments when I felt the weight of not earning the Grandmaster title as fast as I hoped, since juggling academics and chess was quite a challenge. But the encouragement from The Sunshine School and SSN College kept me driven to succeed in both areas”, he mentioned.
K. Visweswaran, the head coach at Kameswaran Chess Academy in Chennai, has been training Rohith since 2019. He mentioned that Rohith aims for excellence in both academics and chess, which was a deliberate choice.
Visweswaran said, “Rohith is a hardworking and patient player. He has a sharp tactical mind and is quick to take advantage of his opponent’s errors. Now that the pressure of becoming a GM is off his shoulders, he can focus on winning tournaments”.
Rohith Krishna S. has always excelled in his studies, but he felt that focusing on academics was holding him back from becoming a chess Grandmaster.His desire came fulfilled at last.
