Superheroes of Chess is a ChessBase India Original Series that brings stories of players who have defied all odds for their love for chess. Players and stories you have never heard of. We are really happy to meet players to whom chess is beyond what we understand.
In the third episode, we bring to you the fascinating story of a plumber who never let his passion for chess fade away. Abdul S Rahman belongs to Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh but is currently working as a plumber in a shopping mall in Hyderabad. Born in a family where almost everyone plays chess at home and in the streets of Kurnool. But being so passionate about the game did not fuel his dream of playing tournaments and achieving something significant as he had to become the breadwinner of his family.
Now comes the most fascinating part of the story. Every day, after his shift he would return home and start playing chess online and keep playing till he is tired or exhausted. He even finds time to watch streams of popular chess streamers and keep learning from them. His passion and dedication were so much noticeable that his boss allows him to play in certain tournaments and congratulates him on his performance.
That is the reason he was playing at a special chess event where he defeated a chess master player and that is how we noticed him and wanted to know his story.
He is still passionate about the game and given an opportunity would love to learn more and participate in major tournaments. We were extremely inspired by him and the way his eyes lit up while talking about chess and it’s not every day that you randomly meet someone who starts talking about the legends of chess.
We tried to narrate his story but please do listen to him talk about chess. We hope that his story inspires you and no matter how many chess players you meet in life, there will only be a few who share the same amount of passion as Abdul.
