Fahim still has lots to learn in chess and needs more experience and tournament exposure. He is just 7 years old and just participated in less than 10 chess tournaments. Furthermore, he plays too fast. Most of his rounds completed in less than 15 minutes. Hopefully, he will pick up the skills and experience by participating in more and more chess tournaments. He is a bit lucky because starts early in chess compared to his elder brother who started when he was 11 years old and his elder sister who started when she was 10 years old.
