About
Born 2011 — Aakrit Seth grew up with a chessboard in three languages. He knows what it is like to be the youngest in the tournament hall, and exactly how to climb from beginner to 2000.
Aakrit learned chess in Berlin and joined SC Weisse Dame. At age 10 he was already runner-up in the Berlin U10 Blitz Championship; in 2022 he swept the U12 age group, winning both the classical and blitz titles, and was selected for the Berlin state squad (Landeskader).
With Zukertort Amstelveen he became a Dutch youth club-team champion in 2023, climbed the Dutch team competition (Klasse 3), reached the national youth championship U14 and pushed his FIDE rating past 2000 at age 14 — beating opponents rated 2259, 2200 and 2083 along the way.
Playing FIDE-rated rapid events in India — including the 1st Kangra International Open — keeps his game sharp against all-ages fields and connects him with the chess community his family comes from.
Your child learns fastest in the language they think in. Lessons are available in all three:
