Uncovering a young chess master’s journey
The journey of a student beyond the chessboard
What does it take to master a game that demands patience, precision, and presence of mind all at once? For Rosh Jain, a Class IX student at Apeejay School, Pitampura, the answer lies in years of quiet dedication, long hours of practice, and an unshakeable love for the game of chess.
From an age when most children are still exploring hobbies, Rosh found his focus on the chessboard. Over time, that early curiosity evolved into a disciplined routine, shaping not just his skills but also his mindset. Today, he is recognised for his sharp thinking, calm temperament, and ability to stay composed even when the pressure is high.
Balancing school life with rigorous training is no easy task, yet Rosh does so with remarkable maturity. His days are structured, his goals clear, and his approach rooted in consistency. Whether it is preparing for tournaments, managing academics, or refining strategies, he believes that every move matters, both in chess and in life.
Equally important is the role of a supportive ecosystem. Encouragement from family and Apeejay School, Pitampura, has enabled him to pursue his passion without compromise, reinforcing the belief that talent thrives best when nurtured with trust and understanding.
As recognition grows, what keeps him grounded? How does he stay composed during high-pressure moments? And what guidance does he share with young learners who dream big?
