A FIDE rating is an international ranking that gauges a player’s skill, with scores typically ranging from 1000–1200 for beginners to over 2500 for elite grandmasters. Born in January 2021, Anish was introduced to chess through YouTube videos. Although his parents initially showed him children’s programs, it was chess content that sparked his interest.
Despite the structured training and media attention, Anish’s parents insist there’s no pressure on him.Recently, Anish had the opportunity to meet his chess idol, Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, during the Tata Steel Chess India tournament in Kolkata on November 12. Carlsen described Anish’s early accomplishments as “very impressive” and advised him to focus on enjoying the game rather than worrying about ratings or titles.
