Chess is a game that requires natural acumen and some shrewd calculations to outplay the opponent. However, all this is no big deal for our city’s chess prodigy Sahithi Varshini.
The Beginning
The love of chess for ten-year old Sahithi can be credited to her father’s love for the game. So it all began when Lokeswara Rao improved on his game after a match with his neighbour, who was the Andhra University Chess Champion. They both started playing and soon this HPCL employee was taking the game very seriously and even went on to win at many company tournaments. Having achieved that, Lokeswara Rao decided to transfer his passion for chess onto one of his two daughters and Sahithi, the younger one, stunned her father with her mastery over the moves of the chess pieces.
