We are thrilled to celebrate an outstanding achievement by our very own chess prodigy, Hriday Maniar, at the CISCE Regional Chess Championship held at Kapol Vidyanidhi School on August 29, 2026.
Competing in the highly intense Boys’ Under-17 category, Hriday demonstrated extraordinary tactical brilliance and mental fortitude, securing a well-deserved 3rd place finish. With this impressive performance, he has officially qualified for the CISCE Nationals for the second consecutive year!
Securing back-to-back national qualifications is no small feat. Hriday’s impressive run on the board is a true reflection of his sharp focus, relentless discipline, and unwavering passion for the game.
The entire Vasudev C. Wadhwa Arya Vidya Mandir family congratulates Hriday on this magnificent milestone and wishes him the absolute best as he prepares to take on the country's best at the Nationals!
