00:00My shortest chess game was in 18 moves. This is Bharath Subramaniam for brute.
00:26I liked playing chess. When I was young, I didn't really think if I liked the game or something, but I just liked to enjoy it and play the game.
00:35My father taught me to play just like basics and like how to move the piece and how to win like queen king versus king and like basic kind of stuff, like the base of chess and like the rule principles like don't bring your queen out early.
01:04After that, I think we joined Chess Gurukul Coaching Academy and I stayed there for seven years.
01:23I like to watch him play because I think his style is very aggressive and he has some very beautiful games.
01:34There are many rules in order to achieve grandmaster. I think getting a rating performance of 2600 is like the main rule and other rules also have like you have to play three GMs in a tournament and such.
02:04I like to keep a tricky trap and most of the time my opponents avoid it, but when the opponent like falls for it, it's like a different feeling.
02:23My future goal is like to become world champion.
