This kid is already more well spoken then most GMs. I feel like this kid will be #1 someday

I know he's only 12 but I hope this is one of those situations where it's the young man wanting to pursue it because he wants to not because his parents are making him.

I predict the finest Universities will trip over themselves to give this bright young man a scholarship! Quality family time is beyond precious & so important. Many different precious gifts in life are already yours to enjoy. Do not overlook this. Be patient, the other gifts will come.

If I had the money...I would sponsor him and his family...not just a chess prodigy...but he's a humble and obviously hard working young man who is set being the best he can...not just for himself but his family as well. What a winner!!
Looks like dad didn’t teach him how to orient the board, but I expect he learned that soon enough.
He is so smart💡

He enjoys computer programming...his dad works in IT. If chess fails, he can probably fall back on other careers. He is super driven and has a great work ethic-that translates well to any field. Your question is akin to asking is Tom Brady good at anything else? Brady doesn't need another talent. Similarly, Abhimanyu is good enough to make a living playing chess.
ok
12 hours a day! He must have O.C.D.
Meh 🤷🏻♂️
