Woman Grand Master Srija Seshadri
"Chess has built my character. Whatever I have learnt from chess, I try to apply it in my life too."
As a kid she would go for swimming classes, but that didn't interest her much.
Once, when her dad was dropping her, they saw an advertisement for a chess class next to the swimming class. Her dad inquired about it and enrolled her in it.
Next day, the moment she entered, she felt attracted to the chess pieces.
Few months later she participated in a local tournament and won it.
She started taking formal coaching in 2008 and went on to win Nationals U-11 Girls.
It was when she won Asian Youth in 2012, Delhi that she started taking chess seriously.
Her parents have been supportive and her mom would almost always accompany her for tournaments.
For her, Chess is thrilling and she enjoys it a lot.
