Shiv Nadar School Faridabad proudly celebrates the remarkable achievements of Jayansh Dhingra of Grade 8, Gir, whose consistent performances in competitive chess continue to bring laurels to the school community.
Jayansh delivered an outstanding performance at the Faridabad District Chess Championship, held on 4–5 April 2026.
Competing in the Under-15 Open category, Jayansh clinched the Championship Title, an exceptional feat especially as he is currently just 12 years old and competed in an over-age category. He further demonstrated his consistency by securing the 3rd Position in the Under-13 Open category.
Continuing his strong track record, Jayansh had previously emerged as the U15 Open Champion in the previous year and secured the 2nd Position in the U13 Open category.
Adding to his achievements, Jayansh participated in the Haryana State Under-13 Chess Championship Tournament held in Panchkula, where he secured an impressive 4th Position among 140+ participants from across Haryana. He narrowly missed the 3rd position on tie-break points in what proved to be an intense and highly competitive tournament featuring several highly rated players in terms of their FIDE rankings.
For his excellent performance, Jayansh was awarded the 4th Position Trophy along with a cash prize of ₹1500 by representatives of the Haryana State Association.
He further showcased his versatility and competitive strength by securing First Position in the Under-14 Sub-category at the Faridabad District Senior Open Tournament held recently.
Jayansh’s achievements reflect remarkable skill, discipline, focus, and dedication. Shiv Nadar School Faridabad congratulates him on his continued success and wishes him the very best for the future.
