An 11-year-old prodigy will be among India’s 41-player contingent competing at the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz Championships in Doha this week, with Charvi Anilkumar set to make her debut at the season-ending event.Charvi, who is from India's southern city Bengaluru, is the youngest Indian in the field and the joint youngest participant in both the women’s Rapid and Blitz events, sharing that distinction with Kazakhstan’s Alanna Berikkyzy.For Charvi, the tournament marks a rare appearance in the women’s section. Over the past year, she has largely competed in open events against older boys and men, choosing a tougher competitive path instead of age-group women’s tournaments. The approach has delivered results, with Charvi currently ranked 44th among the world’s top juniors, despite being at least three years younger than every player above her on the list. In 2025 alone, Charvi has gained nearly 200 rating points following a demanding international schedule. Source link
