We MindMentorz Chess Academy are excited to celebrate a special achievement by one of our young chess talents, Sankeerth Abhijay B.A., who recently won the Youngest Boy Award at the 15th SCMA Trophy held in Hubballi. The tournament, organized by the Sri Sadguru Chessmartz and Music Academy in association with the Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashram, saw intense competition, and Sankeerth’s exceptional skills on the chessboard shone brightly.
The 15th SCMA Trophy was an Open Rapid Chess Tournament that attracted chess enthusiasts from various age groups across the region. Sankeerth, one of the youngest participants, demonstrated remarkable maturity and focus throughout the tournament. Competing against seasoned players, his determination, composure, and deep understanding of the game earned him this prestigious recognition.
The event, hosted on 20th October 2024 at the Ramakrishna Vivekananda Ashram in Hubballi, was filled with excitement and competitive spirit. With a prize pool that included cash awards and 61 trophies and medals, it was a high-energy day for all participants. The tournament followed a Swiss League format with seven rounds, testing every player’s strategic capabilities and endurance.
Sankeerth’s Achievement:
Winning the Youngest Boy Award is a testament to Sankeerth’s hard work, dedication, and passion for chess. His success at such a young age is inspiring, and it speaks volumes about the bright future that lies ahead for him in the world of chess. We are proud to see how far he has come and eagerly anticipate his future accomplishments.
This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support from Sankeerth’s parents and the dedication of his coaches, who have guided him every step of the way. Together, they have cultivated an environment that encourages Sankeerth to push boundaries, stay curious, and continuously improve his skills.
As we celebrate this milestone, we also look forward to seeing what more this promising young talent will achieve in the years to come. Congratulations from MindMentorz Chess Academy!
