Personal life


Aravindh was born in Thirunagar, Madurai, Tamil Nadu in 1999. His father died when he was three and his mother worked as a Life Insurance Corporation agent to support the family. He learned to play chess at the age of seven from his paternal grandfather, who introduced him to the game in an attempt to quell his desires to constantly leave the house and play cricket with other boys.




Chess career


Aravindh won the Indian U19 Chess Championship at the age of 12. He competed in the World U14 Chess Championship in 2012, placing second to Kayden Troff.
He won his first major tournament in 2013 when he scored 9/11 for a performance rating of 2728 at the Chennai Grandmaster International Open, defeating four grandmasters and two international masters in the process. This result earned him his first grandmaster norm; at the time he had not achieved any of his international master norms.
He earned his international master title in 2014 and his grandmaster title in 2015.
