Blind Chess - Rahul Vaghela - Trinayani

Meet Rahul Vaghela – a young chess player who sees the board more clearly than most, even without sight.
At just ten years old, Rahul discovered the world of chess. Since then, his journey reflects not only talent, but grit, strategy and smart adaptation to the tools of this game!
This film takes you into Rahul’s mind – how he prepares, how he learns, and how he plays with heart. With accessible tech, dedicated coaching, and pure passion, he's challenging expectations, leveling the playing field, and proving that true vision comes from within.

You can navigate to the specific topics using the following chapters:
00:00 - Ritika Sahni’s introduction to the film
00:22 - Rahul on playing chess
02:14 - How do you practice and prepare for tournaments?
04:34 - Can you share how you usually tell the time?

About Trinayani:

For the past 17 years, Trinayani, founded in 2006, is dedicated to driving change in the field of disability. Our mission is to raise awareness, acceptance, and understanding of people with disabilities (PwDs), while simultaneously working to reduce fear and ignorance, about the world of PwDs, among the general public. We specialize in curating sensitization workshops, community building and using media, games, and literature as part of our awareness campaigns and believe in collaborating and partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations.

Through our year-long “EnAble” Disability Awareness and Capacity Building program, we work with mainstream teachers, equipping them with the necessary skills to address the diverse learning needs of students, aligning with the guidelines of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

Our "TOWARDS INCLUSION"- this Disability Awareness card game kit, has a range of interestingly adapted cards to raise awareness about disability and advocacy for Inclusion. Our two livelihood initiatives which also serve as advocacy efforts are Sparsh Foot Spa, which employs blind reflexology therapists, and Pehli Baarish, an inclusive music band featuring artists with and without disabilities.
