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 (June 2025) at Premier Chess Academy, Middle East!

1.  Jai Darsh Puri

Jai is 11 years old and a proud student at Premium Chess Academy. Jai’s journey into chess began out of pure interest, watching videos and watching children playing at his school. With the guidance of a dedicated chess coach kunal sir his learning took a strong leap forward. He enjoys solving problems, thinking strategically, and is always eager to learn and improve. Outside of academics and chess, he has a strong love for music; he loves drums and guitar. He is focused, playful, and always ready to take on the next challenge.”

Coach feedback on Jai:

Jai Darsh Puri is a bright, dedicated, and enthusiastic young. He has a strong ability to understand and absorb new ideas quickly, which helps him progress steadily. Jai actively participates in class activities with full concentration and always shows a genuine interest in learning. His love for the game is evident, and he truly enjoys every session. His parents are also very supportive and encouraging, which plays a big role in his growth. In a short span, Jai has shown impressive improvement, and I’m genuinely pleased with his development. I wish him continued success in chess and all other areas of life.
