At Premier Chess Academy (PCA), our vision is to transform kids into the world of chess & support them along the transition. Each and every kid at PCA deserves a special appreciation but we have shortlisted (selection criteria below) the students. Friendly advise, “for student’s those who didn’t make it through – you will make it one day and for those who are the stars of the month – continue the practice as your bar goes up”.
Here we go to recognize the stars of the month (February 2025) at Premier Chess Academy, Asia Pacific (Australia, Singapore and New Zealand)!

Beyond chess, Yamee Krishna also plays the Guitar, studies Indian classical music, and has a keen interest in Mathematics.”
