The story of Hemanth Sil is very interesting. He owned a Gym where people would come and exercise and that ensured his livelihood. When his daughter started to learn chess, he too got hooked to the game. He loved chess so much that he became the coach at the academy where he and his duaghter learnt how to play. Later when results started to show as a coach, Hemanth took the bold decision of starting his own academy! Now this academy has become his source of livelihood! His daughter Mehendi Sil is a very talented chess player from West Bengal. Hemant clearly states, "My interest in chess lies only until my daughter is playing the game. After she gives up chess, I too will give up everything related to it!"
