“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 (July 2025) at Premier Chess Academy, India!
1. Kuricherlapati Lakshmi Trilokya Nethra
“Nethra, an 11-year-old from Hyderabad, began her chess journey at the young age of 8 and has shown remarkable dedication, discipline, and a true love for the game ever since. Over the years, she has steadily progressed, recently earning a well-deserved promotion to the Intermediate-1 level. Her passion for chess is evident in the way she approaches every game—with focus, curiosity, and a strong desire to improve. What makes Nethra truly special is her consistency in training and her eagerness to learn from every experience, win or lose. Much credit also goes to her coach Kunal, whose patient mentoring and motivating presence have played a key role in shaping Nethra’s chess journey. Keep up the great work!”
Coach feedback on Nethra:
“Nethra is a bright and enthusiastic girl who truly enjoys playing chess and exploring new strategies in every session. In the early days, she was a bit reserved when it came to asking questions, but with consistent effort and determination, she turned that into one of her strengths. Today, she actively engages in class, showing curiosity and confidence in her learning. She has a strong interest in tactical ideas, positional play, and checkmating patterns, and she doesn’t shy away from applying them in her games. Nethra’s sincerity, work ethic, and eagerness to grow are the qualities that will shape her into a remarkable chess player in the future. Wishing her continued success and all the very best on her chess journey!”
