From Youngest GM to Stanford Graduate: The Career Shift of P Negi from Chess to Computer Science
Parimarjan Negi became one of the youngest GMs, but his progress after achieving the title was slow, and he never reached the 2700 mark, causing his chess career to plateau. However, Negi's outstanding performance in Class 12 allowed him to secure admission in Computer Science at the prestigious Stanford institute, where his chess skills played a role in his acceptance. When asked about his decision to focus less on chess, Negi explained that to live a luxurious life while playing chess is only possible for those in the top 10. With the realization that one's career in chess is limited, as people tend to leave the sport by 35, Negi wanted a solid backup career option.
He scored 2100+ on his SAT exam and is passionate about coding, so he decided to pursue a computer science degree at Stanford. Negi plans to continue playing chess but fewer tournaments as the constant preparation required takes a toll on the mind and body. Chess as a career pays little outside the top 50, and a computer science degree is likely to be more lucrative, making Negi's decision a wise one.
