ADITH is a rarest flowering of Mangalorean chess. He is uncompromising in style and very aggressive on the board. It’s a treat to watch him on the board. His Rating of 2162 is a testimony of his strength in chess beyond in Karnataka as the nearest rating in his category will be at least 60 points down. Securing international acclaims in 2 years is almost nearly impossible task, that too in category like Under 12 where the players will have started chess at the age of 5, with 7 years amassed experience!
