Rohith Krishna S., a 19-year-old engineering student from Chennai, has become India’s 89th Chess Grandmaster after defeating International Master Artur Davtyan of Romania in the final round of the Almaty Masters Qonaev Cup in Kazakhstan, securing six points out of nine. Despite his strong academic record, Rohith admitted that his focus on education had at times slowed his Grandmaster pursuit, which he has been chasing since 2013. Speaking from Dubai, ahead of participating in the Abu Dhabi International tournament beginning August 15, Rohith expressed relief and joy at achieving the long-awaited title, marking it as the start of a much larger journey in his chess career.
