5.Vaishnav Sreekumar
“Vaishnav is artistic and creative by nature and he loves playing chess. He is actively participating in chess classes, practice sessions, and tournaments. The guidance that he receives from his coach Ms. Sunya Sakta in PCA Chess Academy helps him to improve his strategies. In addition to Chess, he excels in drawing and painting, playing the piano and guitar. He likes reading books like Harry Potter and aspires to write some stories too 🙂 We feel like enrolling him to Premier Chess Academy with his younger brother Vaibhav is one of the good things that have happened to him. Playing chess has improved his confidence and problem-solving skills and he is entering into the programming world too. Many thanks to Vaishnav’s tutor – Ms. Sunya for helping him to achieve this. I hope he will learn from his mistakes and keep improving his Chess skills through further guidance from Ms. Sunya and practicing in tournaments”.
Coach feedback on Vaishnav:
“Vaishnav is really performing better and better everyday, I have seen him rectifying himself whenever we find any mistakes with his games, he keeps learning new things and memorizes it. I really appreciate his efforts to improve his game, and also PCA Practice Sessions work as wonders for all the kids because this is where Vaishnav gets the opportunity to make himself better by playing and practicing, also to apply all the new techniques that he learns in the class. He participates mostly in all of them and performs well too. My good wishes to Vaishnav for his bright chess career”.
