Dhyey, representing Nova Scotia, Canada, captured first place at a qualifying tournament held in Moncton, earning the right to compete at the national-level championship. He then carried that momentum into the subsequent event in Ottawa, where he delivered a flawless performance to seal his berth at the World Championship 2027 in the Under-8 category, in addition to qualifying for the North American Championship 2027.

A Tournament Victory That Set Everything in Motion

The journey began in Moncton, where Dhyey topped the standings at a regional chess tournament. That first-place finish granted him qualification for the national championship, which was held in Ottawa. At the Ottawa event, Dhyey did not drop a single game, winning every match he played to clinch his spots at both international competitions.
