Kizhan - 4 years and 4 months shows signs of being chess champion



Harrie Kizhan - just 4 years and 4 months shows signs of being a champion at chess. Picture by Upananda Jayasundera - Kandy Sports Special Corr.

CHESS: Small is big - that’s how the saying goes and this is very true of Harrie Kizhan - son of Mr. and Mrs. Kirubar of Peradeniya Road, Kandy who is turning out to be a champion in the game of chess.

Kizhan - just 4 years and 4 months participated in the Central Province Chess Association tournament for school children and in the under 8 tournament he showed signs of becoming a champion when he won 2 matches easily and lost the other 4 in a group of around 66 participants.

Although little Kizhan lost four matches with more experience players, he was able to play with them for more than one hour in the matches. In the last match he was able to play for more than one and a half hours.

The way young Kizhan made the moves took everyone by surprise for a young boy of his age to play so methodically. His teacher Priyangika Ranasinghe sees a big future for him in chess and he should be able to win the under 8 National Championships soon.
