Aaron Mendes, child prodigy of Chess-The King's Gambit

Aaron Reeve Mendes, an 8 year old born, raised in India and now residing in Toronto, Canada, is a rising star in chess and has been termed as a chess prodigy. At this tender age he has outshined with spectacular performances in the field of Chess. His interest for chess began at very young age, what began as a leisure play activity soon turned out to be his passion.

A big contribution can be attributed to Derik's Chess School, Mangalore from where Aaron has been undertaking professional coaching since last 2 years.

Prior to NAYCC (North American Youth Chess Championship), Aaron has participated in many tournaments over the past year and has been successful in securing one of the top three positions in most of them.

Aaron was the first runner up in the Ontario Youth Chess Championship (OYCC) held in May 2019 in Kitchener, Canada.

He shared a 3rd tie position in the National level U-8 Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) held in July 2019 in Saskatchewan, Canada.

After my interview with him, he went on to bag his latest feat at the ‘American Continental - Fide Online World U10 Rapid Championship’ held from December 2 to 4 2020. As many as 28 countries took part in the event wherein Aaron tied for the first position and bagged second in the tie breaker scoring 6 on 7.

Aaron's personal dedication and hard work, backed by excellent chess coaching from his mentors and support from his parents, teachers, sister and extended family, have played an instrumental part in supporting and providing Aaron with all the necessary facilities to pursue his interest.
