Vaibhav Jayant Raut
"Chess is my passion, there are times when you have bad phases in life, but you should never give up, keep working hard and the good days will be back."
His journey in chess began at the age of 6 when he saw his parents play chess at home.
His dad taught him the rules of the game and soon with proper coaching he got a rating of 1500.
He has also been brilliant at academics and won gold medal in world Mathematics Olympiad in 3rd grade for which he was awarded with a computer .
The progress in chess slowed down in the coming years but his passion for the game never deteriorated.
Having a supportive family he opted for commerce in 11th grade just to focus on chess .
He did not disappoint his parents decision as he went on to beat GM Aleksandrov Aleksej (2595) when he was rated just 1980 . He considers this win as his biggest breakthrough in chess which motivated him to dream big !
Vaibhav being a jolly person never carries tension to the board.
For Vaibhav the rating chart is not that great with the start he got , but his immense self belief and happy go lucky nature keeps him positive of making it big in chess.
