Beyond Chess

Outside of chess, I am passionate about calisthenics and rock climbing. The discipline, focus, and problem-solving required in these sports have greatly influenced my approach to chess improvement.

Some of my calisthenics achievements include:

• 101 dead-stop strict chin-ups
• 61 dead-stop strict pull-ups
• 43 dead-stop strict muscle-ups
• 10 handstand push-ups
• Handstand press
• Front lever
• Human flag

I believe that excellence comes from consistent training, smart practice, and the right mindsetwhether in chess, sports, or any other challenge.
