Uttarakhand's First Chess IM, Saksham Rautela




Saksham"s Rating Progress Over the years
2004 is the birth year of Saksham Rautela. He used to play chess when he was 5 year old but that time his family was not aware that what should be the exact age to be a prefessional chess player. But at the age of 8 year he participated the local chess tournament held in Lake city Nainital .There his family got interect with few chess players and   they realise that they will allow his son to play chess. but due to lack of knowledge initially three years he servived. Afrer this they worked hard and brought skilled coaches for him and the journey started and Saksham shown good result. Till 2018 he was  just around 1900 Elo rating but in the shorter period of time of just 2 year he performed unbelievely and gained 577 elo points and more then this got all three precious IM norm. Now he touched 2480 live Fide rating. He is also a good in acedemic. Last year he appeared in SSC exam an performed and gained good CGPA. Officially Saksham Rautela started  chess since 2012  but in reality he learn chess sincerely 2015 onwards . Since 2012 to till date he represented Uttarakhand State in many National events. Now he is first chess player from Uttarakhand State to achieve the IM title not only from Uttarakhand but also from North Indian stated if we not considerd Haryana and UT Delhi in it. Here I want to know you that To earn the IM title, a player must  have an established FIDE rating of more than 2400. However,  players must have three IM norms in the simple words he must prove their strength by having sufficiently strong results in  three tournaments against very strong competition. however, there are potential shortcuts to winning the IM title, such as by being the runner-up at the World Junior Championship.
