Amogh Bisth is just seven years old but he is already the National under-7 Chess champion with 9.5 points. A class 2 student from VIBGYOR High School, Marathahalli in Bengaluru, Amogh has made India proud by being qualified to represent India in World championship to be held in China and also Asian championship to be held in Vietnam in 2019. Though he finds it difficult to express how he plays chess, he is well aware of the fact that it is a mind game and one needs to apply his/her mind just like solving jigsaw puzzles to play chess. He was declared a winner after he left behind 214 boys to clinch the national championship title.
