Aarti recalls, \u201cWe discouraged him from playing, at least at the beginning. It was not cool to play chess when he started. We are a traditional Indian family and they thought it was not a respectable sport.\u201d She adds that they worried it might make him seem odd or isolated.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sohum ignored the doubts and began teaching himself. His family moved to London in 2016, and it was there that he began to focus more seriously on chess\u200b.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Achievements So Far<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sohum quickly established himself as a strong player in the UK. His breakthrough came in 2019 when he won both the British Under-11 and Under-12 championships in the same year\u2014something that hadn\u2019t happened since 1996.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2021, Sohum achieved an International Chess Federation (FIDE) ELO rating of 2200, a number that put him among the top junior players globally. As of now, he is only 97 points away from the title of grandmaster, a status held by just around 2,000 active players in the world\u200b.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41151 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh3-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sohum Lohia | Global Indian\" width=\"608\" height=\"841\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 608px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 608\/841;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41151 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh3-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sohum Lohia | Global Indian\" width=\"608\" height=\"841\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Chess writer Leonard Barden describes Sohum as \u201cone of England\u2019s most promising teenage talents.\u201d He believes Sohum could achieve the grandmaster title by age 18 or 19, and from there, aim for a place on England\u2019s Olympiad team, where the current players are far older\u200b.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Training and Support<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sohum\u2019s progress has been guided by experienced coaches. He trains under <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Luke_McShane\">Luke McShane<\/a>, a British chess player, and Ramachandran Ramesh, an Indian grandmaster who founded the Chess Gurukul Academy in Chennai. Ramesh has coached some of the best young players in the world, including Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh Dommaraju.<\/p>\n<p>Ramesh explains, \u201cThe world of chess is undergoing a few drastic changes\u2026 What is making this more exciting is the fact that it is the young teenagers who are taking the lead role in this transition.\u201d He adds, \u201cPlayers like Gukesh Dommaraju, Praggnanandhaa, and Sohum Lohia are instrumental in bringing new dynamics into play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aarti, meanwhile, has taken on the role of a full-time \u201cchess mum.\u201d She travels with Sohum to tournaments, advocates for better funding for chess, and campaigns to raise awareness. Her involvement has been crucial to Sohum\u2019s success. \u201cI think everybody knows you can\u2019t play at a certain level of sport if one parent is not crazy. And in this family, that parent is me,\u201d she says\u200b.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Mindset of a Chess Player<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Chess is a game that rewards focus, patience, and planning\u2014skills Sohum has worked hard to develop. He says, \u201cYou\u2019re always waiting a long time for the other player to make their move. You also learn to get a bit less emotional, so you don\u2019t feel so bad if something goes wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41153 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-758x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sohum Lohia | Global Indian\" width=\"608\" height=\"821\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-758x1024.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-480x649.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 608px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 608px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 608\/821;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41153 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-758x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sohum Lohia | Global Indian\" width=\"608\" height=\"821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-758x1024.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/soh55-480x649.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 608px, 100vw\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Sohum also appreciates how age doesn\u2019t matter in chess. He often competes against adults and says, \u201cAge doesn\u2019t matter. You play against everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, he pushes back against the stereotype that all chess players are math geniuses. \u201cHonestly, I think chess and maths are quite separate. I\u2019m decent at maths, and so are other players, but they\u2019re not very connected I don\u2019t think,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Global Indian<\/em> <\/a>explains\u200b.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Challenges and Competition<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Sohum is part of a new generation of chess players competing at a very high level. One of his closest rivals is Shreyas Royal, who at 15 is already England\u2019s youngest grandmaster. \u201cRoyal is at present on a higher trajectory than Sohum,\u201d says Barden, \u201cbut that is not set in stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the competition is fierce, Sohum remains focused on his love for the game. \u201cI\u2019m just playing for fun, but I do want to be a grandmaster,\u201d he says\u200b.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Bigger Picture: Chess as a Movement<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>For Aarti, chess is more than just a sport\u2014it\u2019s a tool for life. She believes it teaches players to think carefully about consequences. \u201cWhen you make a move, something\u2019s going to happen. So you better think before you do,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Her passion has inspired her to work on a documentary about a charity that brings chess into prisons. \u201cWhen prisoners learn chess, they internalise this understanding. Yes, they may have made careless moves, they\u2019ve done silly things. And they see the chess game as a life imitated on the board,\u201d she explains\u200b.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41150\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41150\" class=\"wp-image-41150 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2.webp\" alt=\"Global Indian Chess Player\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2.webp 700w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-510x382.webp 510w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-480x360.webp 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/525;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41150\" class=\"wp-image-41150 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2.webp\" alt=\"Global Indian Chess Player\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2.webp 700w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-510x382.webp 510w, https:\/\/old.globalindian.com\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sohum2-480x360.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-41150\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sohum Lohia with his mom Aarti<\/p><\/div>\n<h5><strong>The Road Ahead<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>For Sohum, the goal is clear: he wants to become a grandmaster.
