As the Head of SEO at Hindustan Times, I spend my days navigating the intricate and ever-evolving algorithms of the digital world. However, my most enduring pursuit of strategy happens on the 64 squares of a chessboard. An avid chess enthusiast and FIDE-rated competitor, I have cherished playing and understanding the game’s infinite complexities, a journey that has seen me play over 50,000 games of chess. I often participate in Chess Tournaments (National and International). I find immense joy in every aspect of the game, from diving deep into Grandmaster encounters to meticulously analyzing the subtle positional nuances that separate a draw from a win. This passion led me to create Chessyard, my YouTube channel, where I craft engaging content to share the beauty of chess with a global community. Whether I am breaking down a sharp Caro-Kann defence or sharing my own learnings of the game, my goal is to make high-level strategy accessible to everyone. For me, chess is more than a hobby; it is a lifelong masterclass in patience, tactical foresight, and the relentless pursuit of improvement.
