The family of a gifted chess player living in London has been given the right to stay in Britain because of his “world-class talent”.

Nine-year-old Shreyas Royal had to leave the country with his parents when his father’s work visa (签证) couldn’t be used next month, the UK Press Association (PA) reported.

In a post (帖子) on his Facebook page Friday, Shreyas celebrated the news that they could now stay, saying it was a “deep pleasure for all of us”. “I would like to say a big thank-you to each and everyone from the bottom of my heart!” he wrote.

Shreyas, who plays for Battersea Chess Club, was born in India but moved to Britain when he was three years old after his father, an IT project manager, was offered a job there, according to PA.

The Home Office said the boy’s father, Jitendra Singh, had been given permission to ask for another five-year work visa without leaving the United Kingdom due to Shreyas’ talent, according to PA.

“After much research, I have taken the personal decision to allow Shreyas and his family to stay in the UK,” Home Secretary Sajid Javid said. “The UK is a country that brings up world-class talent and Shreyas is one of the most gifted chess players in his generation (代).”

Battersea Chess Club, which was established in 1885, welcomed the Home Office’s decision in a statement on its website.

“Shreyas is a very nice, down-to-earth young man who has a big future ahead of him on the world stage hopefully representing England,” said club secretary Leon Watson. “We strongly believe he will make us proud. We wish him every success going forward. In 10 years’ time we hope he’ll be a famous name as England’s first world champion.”

In a Facebook post on Monday, Shreyas announced that following his performance at the British Chess Championship he was now ranked second in the world for his age group.

Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play—creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”

Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?

There are lessons in life to be learnt from almost everything that can be observed, from pouring water in your glass to watching a football game. Here are the lessons l am reminded of when 1 watch a sports game or involve myself in one.

【小题1】 Like in life, you don’t always come out on top in sports. Athletes know this and know how to move on. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, but they don’t expect everything to go as planned.

I recall watching the Soccer World Cup of 2010. That was a match between Portugal and North Korea. And North Koreans lost 7:0. 【小题2】 In 2014 this same set of players had to walk out to the field in another competition and struck up some amazing points. In life you will not always win, but you will have to master the art of moving on and trying again.

Hard work does lead to good results. 【小题3】 They’ve been through enough games to know the formula (公式) and see the results. After Ronaldo’s arrival at Old Trafford, he suffered a major body transformation. from a skinny boy to a muscled man. And that didn’t happen by accident. It was work. hard work. His game got better. 【小题4】 This principle won’t change. While we can make a lot of smart work and strategies, we all need to push ourselves beyond our comfort zone if we want something outstanding.

Doing sports has great benefits to both the body and the mind. 【小题5】
