Born in Bengaluru in 2009, he moved to the United Kingdom with his family at the age of three when his father, Jitendra Singh, accepted a job as an IT project manager. They settled in South-East London, in the lively, multicultural neighbourhood of Woolwich. Shreyas was still a toddler, curious about the world around him, and showed an impressive memory.<\/p>\n<p>It was here, thousands of miles from India &#8211; the birthplace of chess- that his father introduced him to the game as a way to channel his young son&#8217;s sharp mind. &#8220;It took me some time, but I was curious,&#8221; Shreyas recalls, describing those first tentative steps. It wasn&#8217;t until he started winning matches against other children at school that something inside him clicked. &#8220;And that got me hooked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40405\" style=\"width: 438px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40405\" class=\"wp-image-40405 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung.jpg\" alt=\"Grandmaster | The Global Indian\" width=\"428\" height=\"240\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung.jpg 360w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung-300x168.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 428px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 428\/240;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40405\" class=\"wp-image-40405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung.jpg\" alt=\"Grandmaster | The Global Indian\" width=\"428\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung.jpg 360w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shreyasyoung-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-40405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A young Shreyas<\/p><\/div>\n<h5><strong>Discovering Chess<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>By six, his parents had signed him up at a local chess club in East Ham, where he trained under the guidance of a private coach. From then, chess became more than a hobby \u2014 it was the beginning of his journey into competitive arenas across Europe. His first taste of international success came in Greece, where he clinched silver at the European Schools Chess Championship. His skill and tenacity set him apart early on, winning him multiple awards, and soon, the young player from Woolwich was recognised as one of the country\u2019s brightest prospects. Chris Ward, a British chess grandmaster, went as far as to say Shreyas was &#8220;the best prospect the country has ever seen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Biggest Challenge<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>But for all his success, life in the UK presented its own set of challenges. In 2018, the family faced the prospect of returning to India as his father&#8217;s work visa neared expiration. The requirement? An income of \u00a3120,000 a year \u2014 far beyond his father\u2019s reach. For a brief period, it seemed that Shreyas&#8217;s chess journey might be cut short. However, the English Chess Federation, along with supporters in the political community, appealed to then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid, citing Shreyas&#8217;s potential as an exceptional talent. Javid himself acknowledged, &#8220;The UK is a country that fosters world-class talent, and Shreyas is one of the most gifted chess players in his generation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40406 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Shreyas Royal | Global Indian\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1280x720.webp 1280w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-980x551.webp 980w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-480x270.webp 480w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3.webp 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 660px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 660\/371;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40406 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Shreyas Royal | Global Indian\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1080x608.webp 1080w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-1280x720.webp 1280w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-980x551.webp 980w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3-480x270.webp 480w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey3.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>This was a turning point.

His strategy preparation became more methodical, studying opponents&#8217; strengths, weaknesses, and past games. &#8220;I check to see what openings he has struggled against in the past and also look at some of his statistics, how well he has fared against weaker opponents,\u201d Shreyas explained. &#8220;Aiming for any type of an advantage with white and equality with black out of the opening are also very vital goals.&#8221; The discipline, patience, and hours of practice were part of the foundation that helped him succeed at the Bavarian Open and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Shreyas&#8217;s story is closely tied to the Indian community in the UK\u2014a group that has maintained its cultural roots while contributing to many areas of British society. This community has played an important role in enriching the UK\u2019s cultural and professional landscape. Shreyas represents this blend of Indian heritage and British identity, bringing pride to both. As the child of Indian immigrants, he comes from a tradition that values hard work, education, and resilience\u2014qualities that clearly influence his approach to chess and life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-40407 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4.jpg\" alt=\"Shreyas Royal | Global Indian\" width=\"627\" height=\"634\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4-480x485.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 627px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 627px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 627\/634;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40407 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4.jpg\" alt=\"Shreyas Royal | Global Indian\" width=\"627\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shrey4-480x485.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 627px, 100vw\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h5><strong>A Love for the Game Beyond Titles<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Shreyas is now focused on achieving new goals.
