Clinched a Gold Medal for India in the Under-16 (Sub-Junior) Open category of Commonwealth Chess Championships 2024. Was eligible to play in the Under-14 category but had chosen to challenge myself in a higher category this time. Glad it paid off.

Ethan earned his 2nd IM Norm at the Vezerkepzo November GM tournament in Budapest, Hungary. Having also touched the requisite FIDE Rating of 2400 Elo points in the same tournament, he is now one IM Norm away from becoming an International Master.
