Hey Everyone,

Thank you all for your awesome messages congratulating me on becoming a Legendary Grandmaster! You’re all amazing. I have some exciting news to share!

I’m going to have an interview with 'Algorithms with Shayan' on YouTube. Shayan was my coach in IOI 2022, where I won a Gold medal. We'll talk about how I went from being a complete newbie to becoming a Legendary Grandmaster in coding. It's going to be super cool!

In this interview, I'll share tips for people who want to start coding, and I'll tell some really exciting stories from my coding adventures!

Here's where you come in! If you have any questions about competitive programming or anything else, ask them in the comments below. I’ll pick some of your questions to answer in the interview.

And guess what? I have a surprise! I'm going to give some awesome gifts to people who ask questions and watch our interview. So, don’t miss it!

Stay tuned for the interview on Algorithms with Shayan and let's have a blast together!

Thanks for being awesome,

Alireza Kaviani
