Aravindh Chithambaram: India’s New Chess Sensation

Aravindh Chithambaram is one of India’s most promising chess grandmasters, often seen as the next giant after Viswanathan Anand. His rise to fame has been marked by impressive achievements, both nationally and internationally, showcasing his extraordinary skill and passion for the game.

Born on September 11, 1999, in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, Aravindh faced hardships early in life, losing his father at the age of three. Introduced to chess by his grandfather at seven, he quickly displayed exceptional talent. He received early coaching from Prasad and Kamardeen before moving to Chennai in 2011 to train under Grandmaster R.B. Ramesh, a turning point in his career.

Aravindh’s early successes included winning the National U-19 Chess Championship at 12 and finishing as the runner-up in the 2012 World U-14 Championship. His victory at the Chennai Grandmaster International Open in 2013 firmly established him as a chess prodigy. He achieved his Grandmaster title in 2015 at just 16 years old. He further cemented his dominance by winning the Indian National Chess Championship in 2018 and 2019 and excelling in elite international tournaments.

His most defining moment came in 2025 with his victory at the Prague Chess Masters, where he finished ahead of top players like Praggnanandhaa and Anish Giri, propelling him to World No. 14. Known for his aggressive and tactical playing style, Aravindh continues to refine his skills to compete at the highest level.

Looking ahead, he aims to break into the top 10 world rankings, qualify for the Candidates Tournament, and represent India in major events. With his relentless determination, he has the potential to challenge for the World Chess Championship and become one of the game’s greats.

[ad_1] Atreyo Mukhopadhyay, Boria Majumdar with D Gukesh during the session (PC: File) “You may be the best player in the world, but may not be the best in your house,” was how Viswanathan Anand summed up the Indian upsurge in global chess. Apart from the domination displayed by the youngsters at the top level in recent times, the other hallmark has been bench strength. In the top 15 in the open section, there are five Indians, including the ever-shining Anand. This fosters healthy competition at home. These players know they have no time to relax. Any lapse and they will be overtaken by one of their own. This is a relentless pursuit of excellence by a clutch of hungry youngsters. After D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi stole the show last year, R Praggnanandhaa and Aravind Chithambaram have won the first two big competitions of 2025. “In every top event, there will be at least one Indian. There will not be a tournament where India is not represented,” Anand said at the Tata Steel Trailblazers conclave in Kolkata. “From the internal perspective, there is so much capacity to grow. We have three or four youngsters competing against each other. We have a competitive field, which pushes everybody. It bodes well for Indian chess.” Responding to a question on this in-house competition at the conclave organised by RevSportz, Gukesh shed light on how intense this is. The world champion and almost everybody else in the pack have learnt chess in Chennai since they were children. Naturally, they know each other closely. But for Gukesh, this relationship is as much about rivalry as friendship. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here #DGukesh Exclusive How difficult is it to deal with success?

But I am not very close friends with anyone. Obviously, I wish them and feel happy when they are performing, but competition still takes the first priority for me.” The statement shows how the youngest-ever world champion makes a distinction between sentiments and the job to be done. Gukesh elaborated how this situation has benefited Indian chess. “I don’t think there is any other country with so many players at the top. Arjun, Pragg and myself… Vidit (Gujrathi) is still going strong. Aravind played really well in recent times. It’s amazing to see how we are pushing each other. All of us are also hungry. We’re not stopping to work hard. I’m happy to be part of this amazing group.” India trail the USA narrowly to be second in the international country ratings. This is done by calculating the average ratings of the top 10 players of every nation. The USA have a tally of 2729 and India 2722. China are a distant third with 2673. Gukesh pointed out that most of the top players from the USA are established ones. In India’s case, a majority of them are youngsters. Anand explained why this is a great sign. “They are not just sitting at home and thinking that I have company. They are looking back at every stage thinking that ‘there is somebody at my back’. It’s nice to be the best player in the world, but you may not be the best in your house or in your city. It keeps you sharper,” said the father of this revolution.
