Winning under-19 National Junior Championship was memorable…

There are so many memorable moments in my sporting career. I have won many national titles in the under -13, under-19 and school level, but my favorite is when I won under-19 National Junior Championship at Delhi against Diptian Ghosh. It was an intense game till the last minute. I did not know whether I would win or not. I was at cloud nine because it was higher category tournament for me. I beat players who were 5 to 6 years elder than me. I worked hard on my concentration level and it paid off. That win gave me a lot of confidence and pushed me to work harder. The ongoing Asian School Championship is also going well for me as out of six games I have won five rounds and I really want to make it my memorable tournament in chess.
