Savitha Shri won the gold medal in the under-12 girls section at the Commonwealth Championships 2018. She scored 6.0/7. However, there was one round that was extremely important for her to win the title and that was against Sahithi Varshini.

Sahithi is another big talent of Indian chess. Sahithi was much better in the game, but Savitha hung on. She didn't give up and won the game. In this video she shows us this encounter and analyzes it for us.

From whatever interaction we have had with Savitha, we have realized that the girl is a gritty defender. Coming from a humble background, she has faced many problems in day to day life. Hence, over the board as well, she never gives up! She trains with GM Ramesh RB and is one of the big future hopes of Indian chess.
