My hearty congratulations to Thej.
The hard work he had put in all these years has finally paid dividends. If I'm not mistaken, once he completes all his GM norms- hopefully in the near future- he will be the first GM from Karnataka. All the best for him.
Thej has now 3 GM norms to his name and has a FIDE rating of 2441 and once he completes 2500 he would become Karnataka's first GM!! I'm sure he would do it very soon.
iam proud to say...he is my friend..i still remember that words i told him..dont worry buddy u will reach ur goal soon...well done thej..keep going..all da best
