visually impaired chess player

Darpan Inani lost his vision at the age of three. With his parents' support and his own determination, he went on to defeat sighted opponents at the international level, become a CA, and win two gold medals at the Para Asian Games — all while balancing chess and his career.

Though visually impaired since birth, Mohammed Salih did not let his disability come in his way and became a national level chess player. He can play against renowned players with perfect vision and defeat them too. He now wants to open a chess academy to teach other kids and support his family financially.
