Hyderabad: It was a moment of pride for Konda Surekha, not as a minister or a politician, but as a grandmother. Two-and-a-half-year-old Konda Shreyansh Murali Krishna Patel created history by becoming the youngest person to achieve a world record in chess, securing a place in the World Book of Records.
He will receive official recognition from the World Book of Records at the British Parliament in the coming months.
Watching her grandson behind closed doors solve 93 back-rank checkmates in 15 minutes and 52 seconds and arrange 21 chess boards in 1 hour, 9 minutes and 9 seconds, an emotional Surekha hugged and showered him with kisses.
The event was organised by Ray Chess Academy at the MLAs & MPs Colony Cultural Center in Jubilee Hills, attended by Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu.
