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 (March 2026) at Premier Chess Academy, Middle East!

1. MEER JATINKUMAR KATRODIYA

” The transformation in Meer’s chess over the past year has been remarkable. His rating and skill have improved rapidly, but it’s the quality of his wins that truly astonishes. Meer exhibits strategic thinking, a genuine passion for chess, and the ability to calculate long variations with a maturity well beyond his years. He approaches the board with an intense focus and patience. Crucially, this mental discipline has had a direct, positive impact on his academics, significantly improving his schoolwork. Guided by his coach, Meer has developed a dedicated and focused attitude that is making a difference in all aspects of his life. We are incredibly proud of his commitment.”

Coach feedback on MEER:

” Meer is really performing better and better every day, I have seen him rectifying himself whenever we find any mistakes with his games, he keeps learning new things and memorizing them. He tries to practice in his available time. It clearly shows his love and passion towards the game. He is very focused in regular sessions & always tries to implement the concept in his own games. I wish him very good luck for his Chess Career.!!.”
