Hey everyone! My name is Aniket. I've been playing chess since I was six years old, and I have been intrigued by what the game has to offer new and experienced players. I've participated in many tournaments in the Fairfield Chess Club and won the Norwalk Library annual tournament in 2015. I am now playing chess online, having a 1500 rating in Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet chess. Being part of White Knight Chess Academy will allow me to share my game knowledge with aspiring young players, regardless of skill level, online or in person. 

Hi, I'm Michael Bilokin. I've been captivated by chess since I was 9, finding endless fascination in its strategies and complexities. Throughout my journey, I've achieved significant milestones, including winning first place in tournaments like the Hartford Open, acquiring a Lichess rating of 2300 and peaking my official US chess rating at 1500. At the age 13, I began tutoring young and aspiring players, while doing so I got to witness first hand the positive affects of chess on their lives. This passion led me to establish the White Knight Chess Academy, where I aim to share my love for the game and inspire others to explore its countless benefits.

Hey there, I'm Kaamil Badami. My dad taught me how to play chess when I was little, and ever since then, I've constantly been playing. I've participated in official USCF chess-rated tournaments and won prizes in the Transcontinental Scholastic Chess Tournament the past three years. As President of the Wilton High School Chess Club, I've taken an active role in developing the chess skills of the members. Additionally, I've led summer camps through a nonprofit organization, teaching elementary and middle schoolers the basics of chess and beginner strategies.
