About Manuel Aaron
- Manuel Aaron (born 30 December 1935) is the first Indian chess master in the second half of the 20th century.
- He dominated chess in India in the 1960s to the 1980s, was the national champion of India nine times between 1959 and 1981.
- He is India's first player to be awarded the International Master title, and is one of the key figures in introducing international chess practices to India; until the 1960s, Indian chess (known as chaturanga) was often played using many local traditional variants (e.g.
- in lieu of castling, the king could execute a knights move once, if it had not been checked).
- Aaron helped popularize the international variety, forming many chess groups and urging players to study openings and other formal chess literature.
