Kalidindi Hardik Varma of West Godavari gets appreciation for Chess

 


Visakhapatnam: Kalidindi Hardik Varma of West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh has got appreciation certificate from the India Book of Records (IBR) for participating in the National School Open Chess Championship (under six years) held in November 2019.

The National School Open Chess Championship (under six years) 2019 was organised by the All India Chess Federation (AICF). Kalidindi Hardik Varma secured one out of nine points with 110th rank in the competition.

The child, Kalidindi Hardik Varma, born on March 17, 2016 in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, won this chess competition at the tender age of three years and eight months only. The India Book of Records team confirmed the achievement on January 13, 2021 and issued the boy an appreciation certificate along with badge and the IBR kit for his future use and display.

When the IBR team asked Kalidindi Hardik Varma that from where he got the inspiration to take part in the National School Open Chess Championship (under six years) 2019, he replied shyly that his mother and father are very caring and they inspired him to proceed.

It is remarkable that the child practiced for around six months before jumping into the prestigious chess competition. When asked about any interesting incident related to the achievement, his parents told the media that more than 1000 participated in the Asian Chess tournaments, World Chess Tournaments and The National Schools Chess Tournament, hence the boy was a little nervous in the beginning. 

The family jumped with joy when they got the news that the achievement was selected for appreciation category. “Actually it was very exciting,” quipped his father. Currently, the family lives in Visakhapatnam, Tamil Nadu.
