K C Maharana

My name is K C Maharana and I am passionate about learning, strategic thinking, and self-development. I enjoy activities that challenge the mind, and chess has always been one of my favorite games because it teaches patience, concentration, and decision-making. Playing chess helps me think critically and stay calm under pressure — skills that are valuable both on and off the board.

 

The Chess Tournament is a wonderful opportunity for players like me to showcase our skills, learn from others, and experience the excitement of healthy competition. This event not only encourages logical thinking but also promotes sportsmanship, focus, and respect among participants.

 

Through this tournament, I look forward to improving my game, meeting other passionate players, and representing the spirit of strategy and discipline that chess stands for.
