Calcutta Times Little Star Talent Hunt: Celebrating Young Talent and Big Dreams

Calcutta Times Little Star Talent Hunt is here, and the spotlight is on young talent and big dreams! The recent success story of three-year-old Anish Sarkar from Kolkata has left everyone in awe, including Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua, who mentored him to become the youngest rated chess player globally with a FIDE rating of 1555.

Dibyendu Barua, who himself made waves in the chess world at a young age, believes that chess is not just a game for the elderly anymore. He emphasizes the importance of consistency and discipline in shaping young minds, stating that playing chess helps sharpen concentration, enhance IQ levels, and stimulate cognitive development.

Reflecting on Anish’s journey, Dibyendu highlights the significance of parents recognizing and encouraging their child’s interests, rather than imposing their own. He commends Anish’s parents for supporting his passion for chess, which has led to his exceptional achievements at such a tender age.

Anish’s natural talent for chess was evident from the moment he stepped into Dibyendu’s academy, where he impressed everyone with his problem-solving skills and love for the game. Spending hours at the academy each day, Anish’s dedication and passion for chess are truly inspiring.

As Anish continues to make waves in the chess world, his favorite opening move of making queen pawn to 4 (d4) with the white pieces showcases his strategic thinking and love for the game. Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua believes that Anish’s success will motivate many other children to pursue their passions and dreams.

So, if your child has a unique talent waiting to be discovered, don’t miss the opportunity to share it with Calcutta Times Little Star Talent Hunt. Who knows, your child could be the next young star to shine bright in the spotlight!
