Bronze for Rayaan in YRCT 2026

25 January 2026

We are glad to share that our student Rayaan Saqib had a great day yesterday as he participated in Youth Rapid Chess Championship, Karachi in Under 12 category. The tournament was held at The Russian Center for Science and Culture (Friendship House).

Rayaan scored 4 wins in total 6 Rounds he played. The tournament observed a Rapid time format. It was wonderful to see the little star participate so confidently securing a position despite early losses in second and third round against Amaar Ali & Aleena Siddiqui. He bounced back with 3 back to back victories in last three rounds and showcased great resilience.

Rayaan had also secured Silver earlier this month in 1st National Junior Chess Championship and that combined with this Bronze Medal is a great start of 2026 for him. We wish Rayaan more victories during the year ahead.
