At this tender age he has outshined with spectacular performances in the field of Chess. His interest for chess began at very young age, what began as a leisure play activity soon turned out to be his passion.

A big contribution can be attributed to Derik's Chess School, Mangalore from where Aaron has been undertaking professional coaching since last 2 years.

Prior to NAYCC (North American Youth Chess Championship), Aaron has participated in many tournaments over the past year and has been successful in securing one of the top three positions in most of them.
