International Master Nubairshah Shaikh
"Chess has taught me a lot in life. Few of things I have learnt are decision making, being prepared, working hard and never giving up."
He was 7 when he was introduced to the beautiful game of chess by his dad.
There was an inter school chess tournament and he decided to participate.
His dad taught him the basics and in no time he developed a liking towards the game.
He opted engineering after his 10th grade because he wasn't getting results, he had given up, there was even a time where he didn't play for months.
Later, in November 2014 Asian Youth Rapid, he won gold and that too on his dad's birthday.
"That was the best gift I could gift him", he exclaims.
As they say life comes in full circles.
That was the day he decided that he wants to make it big in chess.
Currently a Civil Engineer and an International Master, he is now working towards his goal of becoming a GM.
Chess for him has not just been his passion, but more than this life.
