Udaipur : There is always a saying for sports that the more one plays, the more perfect he will become. But do you know that an 8 year old girl living in Rajasthan may have played chess less but she has become so perfect in this game that now she defeats the best chess players. Today on International Chess Day, we will talk about chess player Kiana Parihar living in Udaipur, Rajasthan. She is 8 years old but has won 5 gold medals at the international level. She learned to play chess from her father Jitendra.
My interest increased when I saw my father playing chess at the resort
When Kiana was 4 years old, she and her family went for a trip and some people were playing chess at a resort. Kiana’s father Jitendra was also among them. Seeing her father playing chess, the daughter also expressed her desire to play chess. After this, the father taught his daughter every detail of this game.
Won medals in these chess championships
When Corona came, Kiana and her father used to play chess most of the time. And soon Kiana mastered this game. Then in December 2023, Kiana won gold in the Asian Youth Chess Championship Under 8 Girls category, gold in the Asian Youth Rapid Chess Championship Under 8 category and apart from this, she won medals at the international level in other championships including Kazakhstan, Georgia. Apart from this, she has also won many medals in state level championships.
If the rating increases then the youngest woman will become a master
Kiana’s current FIDE rating is 1572. If her rating becomes 1800 plus in the next 5 months, she will become Asia’s youngest female candidate master. Kiana says that she wants to become the world champion like Magnus Carlsen in the coming time.
