On a stormy night in Thiruthangal, Tamil Nadu, eight-year-old Tamizh Amudhan triumphed over Germany's Vincent Keymer, the World No. 7 chess grandmaster, in an online tournament while playing under candlelight. Despite a power outage that left his laptop with only 48% battery, Tamizh logged into the Freestyle Friday blitz tournament, where he stunned Keymer in the first round. Currently ranked World No. 1 in the Under-9 category, Tamizh has been training at Hatsun Chess Academy in Sivakasi after relocating from Kallakurichi. His father, Sathish Arumugam, expressed pride in his son's achievement, emphasizing the hard work that led to this moment. Tamizh, who began playing chess at age four, has collected four silver medals and one bronze at the 27th Asian Youth Chess Championship 2025. This victory serves as a testament to his focus and determination, inspiring many with his story.
