"Im 14 and Ive been playing chess for five to six years. I practice online, on Chess.com, mostly by myself. Though I dont take part in my local chess community much, I really like the competitiveness of chess. This isnt my first tournament. I played my first tournament in 2016 and was in the K-3 section. I came in close to last place out of maybe 30 people. I cried a lot. But a month later, at my next tournament, I did a lot better after studying more. I was still playing in the K-3 section, but I tied for second. I recently played in the eighth-grade section at the K-12 Grades National. I scored 5 out of 7, one point behind the winner. I was really happy about that." - Ishnoor Singh Chandi
