Hrishikesh Chavan Sir encouraged my son to play chess tournaments
My son was always interested in chess since he was 4 years old but was not a professional chess player. We enrolled him in Gurukul Chess Academy when he was around 10 years old under the tutorship of Hrishikesh Chavan Sir. He encouraged my son to play chess tournaments. He himself has always been deeply involved in chess & always boosts the morale of all his students. He always analyzed the games which my son had lost or drawn and helped him to rectify the mistakes. Under his guidance and supervision my son became a Fide approved rated chess player. Hrishikesh Sir has been a really good tutor. It has been good experience learning under him and my son is proud that he is a student of Hrishikesh Sir and Gurukul Chess Academy
