Chess has been my passion and become a National master  as senior in High school

But this achievements are not ever considered in any of the colleges where chess game is given importance.   All colleges are looking for GM title to be considered and give scholarship.

No young talents are recognized and given scholarships for Under graduate degree and help then to go to next level. . I personally feel i wasted 7 years of  time and money for nothing. 

every day 3 hrs time spent on chess , would have been  worth i put on  subjects and would have got 4.0 GPA. 

i quit chess  and not going to spend  even a penny on any tournaments and save money for my parents . Bye bye Onboard chess tournaments !!!

Fide 2200 would have made you CM. NM is not an fide title.

Your chess.com ratings don't look impressive.

Nice try though.
