Sarwagya, who hails from the Central Indian State of Madhya Pradesh, is one of a growing number of young Indian players rising up the ranks of the sport, marking a new era of confidence in the reign of the newly champion-producing State.


Those Champions include Madhvendra Pratap Sharma, who won two gold medals at the Asia Chess Championship and the Commonwealth Chess Championship in less than three weeks.

“These are the big marks of MP Chess,” Akshat Khamparia, convener of Madhya Pradesh Chess Ad-hoc hoc, who is also an international king, said.

Sarwagya was about two-and-a-half years old when she started playing chess, her father, Siddharth Singh, told Express.

“We moved him on last year because we noticed that his mind is a sponge and will pick up things very quickly. During the week of teaching chess, he can report all the pieces accurately,” he said.

“He loves the game very much. If you wake him up in the middle of the night and ask him to play, he will separate himself from other children his age because of his patience and not going out,” continued the boy’s father.

His coach, Nitin Chaurasiya, said that Saragwa shines from the beginning, but his younger brother made it difficult to train him at the beginning, and lessons often lead to tears, until he started rewarding the boy.

“You ask him anything and there’s no hesitation in answering. And he can hold his own on the board against the older kids. You can see his guts when he plays.

Sarwagya plays chess four to five hours a day, including one hour at the training center.

The former Champion Magnus Carlssen started playing chess at the age of five.

Guckesh D, who became the youngest World Chess Champion in history last year at 18, is also among the youngest players ever to become a grandmother. He was seven years old when he first took up the game.
