One thing I noticed about him is the tactics of luring the opponent to commit mistakes. He immediately takes advantage and keep pounding the opponent. He is a very smart kid and have a long journey. He also analyses his games and tries to learn and teach. I personally enjoy every time I play him. He is a sweet kid with equally sweet smile and sharp brain. All the best to Gauransh!!!”
