♟️ Some moments in coaching stay with you forever. This is one of them.
At just 11 years old, Advik Amit Agrawal has scored his FIRST International Master Norm — at the Baku Open 2026, against world-class opposition. His live rating has crossed 2380+. 📈
I've been coaching Advik since September 2025, and what I've witnessed isn't just talent — it's the rare combination of discipline, fighting spirit, and emotional maturity that most players spend a lifetime trying to build.

And now — an IM Norm at 11. On the international stage. Against titled players from across the world.
Proud doesn't begin to cover it, Advik. Keep dreaming big. The best is still ahead. 🚀
