Sparkling Chess Academy, a chess academy in Ghaziabad and Indirapuram, proudly celebrates a new milestone as four of its students receive official FIDE Rapid Ratings in October 2026.
We are delighted to congratulate Atharv Sharma, Rishi Raj Singh, Yuvraj Chopra and Avijit Powal on achieving their FIDE Rapid Ratings through competitive chess.
Our Newly FIDE-Rated Players
Student FIDE Rapid Rating
Atharv Sharma 1539
Rishi Raj Singh 1515
Yuvraj Chopra 1458
Avijit Powal 1417
This is an important milestone in the chess journey of all four students. Becoming FIDE-rated represents competitive tournament experience and provides players with an internationally recognised rating that they can continue to develop through future rated games. FIDE’s rating system uses results from competitive chess events to provide a statistical measure of playing strength.
Developing Competitive Chess Players in Ghaziabad
At Sparkling Chess Academy, our approach to chess training goes beyond simply teaching the rules of the game. Students are encouraged to build strong chess fundamentals, develop tactical and strategic understanding, analyse their games and gain practical tournament experience.
For students who want to progress towards competitive chess, participating in tournaments and learning from actual games is an important part of long-term development.
The achievement of Atharv, Rishi, Yuvraj and Avijit is therefore a proud moment for the academy, their parents and everyone who has supported their chess journey.
