Chess has been an art I discovered thanks to my father in 1999. My father taught me how to move the pieces since I was little and it was a game I understood almost immediately.

At age 14, I won my first game against my father with a "Corridor Checkmate." Much time passed and I walked away from chess, until at 26 that passion suddenly woke up again inside me. I searched pages and pages throughout the web to find quality chess at a good price — that is when I found ChessBazaar.

I spent a long time saving with great sacrifice. In 2019 I finally acquired the Chetak II — the chess set that kept me awake at night dreaming. For me it was like fulfilling a little dream full of luxury.
