International Master Krishna Teja, India


International Master Krishna Teja


"Chess has taught me a lot in life. It has shaped me in better person, taught me how to deal with difficulties and never giving up. Also I get to travel and know about different cultures."

His mom wanted to inculcate different hobbies in him, while his dad wanted him to play a sport.
He took a few music lessons and his dad taught him basics of chess.

Later he developed a liking towards the game and started playing tournaments.
He didn't take chess seriously until the year 2012, when he increased 200 Elo rating and missed an IM norm in Commonwealth 2012 by a whisker.

He started working hard and soon in 2015 he completed his IM title.
In December 2018, he scored his maiden GM norm at Sitges Open and since then he is working hard towards achieving Grand Master title.
