Speaking about his son’s achievement, Lokesh Nara shared, “I’ve seen Devaansh train with laser-sharp focus and passionately embrace the sport. He draws inspiration from the historical performances of Indian chess players on the global stage. I’d also like to thank Roy Chess Academy for making chess enjoyable and engaging for him.”
