Khamparia is part of the generation of Indian chess players who emerged as the country expanded its presence in international chess following the rise of Viswanathan Anand. India has steadily produced a large pool of titled players through the All India Chess Federation (AICF) and an active circuit of open tournaments held across cities such as Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bhopal.
As a competitive chess player, Khamparia has participated in rated tournaments organised under the framework of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) and the All India Chess Federation. Indian players in this category typically compete in national championships, state-level events, and international open tournaments that offer norms and rating points.
Khamparia is among the many Indian chess players who contribute to the country's depth in the sport. India has, over the past two decades, become one of the strongest chess-playing nations in the world, with a growing number of Grandmasters, International Masters and FIDE-rated players.
