Raja, a teenager from Kitchener-Waterloo, has been a promising chess player since the age of 5, and despite his intense schedule at the University of Western Ontario Science faculty, and a busy social life, he has achieved new heights in the chess scene recently. He has become the Canadian Junior (20 years and younger) Chess Champion for 2009, and will represent Canada at the World Junior Chess Championships, one of the winners of which was Garry Kasparov, in his Junior days. He has already achieved a place in the top five at the World Youth Championships, not too long ago. He has also fulfilled the requirements for the title of International Master, a step above his current title of FIDE Master, and is awaiting completion of some formalities at the Federation Internationale dEchecs, before being awarded the title. He already has his eyes set on the next title of Grandmaster, and hopes to become the youngest Canadian born Grandmaster in Canada. He believes that the only way Chess would become as popular as Hockey in Canada is when somebody who is a native of Canada becomes the world Champion!
