Today we have with us GM Himanshu Sharma, who is India's 47th grandmaster.
Himanshu, tell us about your journey.
I began my chess journey when I was eight years old.
I won the State Open Championships when I was 13 years old which was a big milestone,
A 13-year-old winning the State Championship in Haryana was nothing short of a miracle.
I finished first at the National Under-18 in 2000, which was also a big ahievement
because someone from Haryana winning the National Championship seemed like an impossible task.
However, I am glad that thanks to God's grace and blessings of the elders I was able to achieve this.
Since then the chess journey has kept progressing slowly and steadily.
I became an IM in 2006 and in 2014 I scored my first GM norm in Mayor's Cup in Mumbai.
I scored my 2nd GM norm in KiiT Open in Bhubaneshwar in 2015 and my final norm came in Spain in 2016. Recently I broke the rating barrier and became a GM.
Don't you think it took you quite some time to reach 2500 because you had already scored your GM norms sometime ago.
In life of any chess player there will always be ups and downs.
The most important thing is to keep an eye on the minute details of your game and keep improving them.
If there is a downfall, it means that there are some errors in your game which you are not being able to get rid off.
And I am of the opinion that greater are the difficulties in your path, the better are your chances for achieving bigger success.
Surely I lost a lot of rating at some point in my chess career. I had even come down below 2350.
But the way I regrouped from that point onwards has been a great journey and my aim is to increase it as much as I can.
Himanshu, what is your aim for the future now?
I have just reached a rating of 2500.So the next step should definitely be reaching 2600.
I will do all the hard work and concentrate on all it takes to reach this goal and will try to reach it as soon as I can.
Himanshu, what would be your advice to all the youngsters who want to achieve something in chess?
My first advice would definitely be to believe in yourself.
If you do not have a good coach, or the resources that you have with you are limited, and it is not so easy to progress, it is not something to be sad about.
If someone has achieved a milestone before you, it is very much possible that you can also do it.
If I have achieved something, I am sure you can also achieve it!
With your willpower and dedication, remember that the aim is achieveable and you will surely achieve it. All that you have to do, is not get distracted.
Thank you, Himanshu Sharma.
