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 advice, “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 (October 2025) at Premier Chess Academy, Europe!
1. Tanish Thadala
” Tanish is 8 years old and lives in London, UK. He has shown a keen interest in chess, starting by playing with family members. We wanted him to learn from the basics to build a strong foundation. We then learned about PCA from a friend, which has helped him improve his chess skills and techniques essential for any player. He started as a beginner and has now reached an advanced level, thanks to the great support of his coach, Mr. Harsh Raj, who has helped him learn every move and method in detail. He also teaches in a classic and structured way, allowing children to practice more effectively and deepen their understanding of chess.”
Coach feedback on Tanish:
” Tanish has shown remarkable enthusiasm and consistency in his chess journey. He listens attentively, applies new concepts with confidence, and displays impressive logical thinking during games. His growing understanding of openings and strategy reflects his hard work and curiosity. Keep shining, Tanish! Your dedication and positive attitude make you a true inspiration for other students.”
