11. Yahya Rehman

“Yahya Rehman is an Eight-Year-old boy and is brought up in a family of many nascent chess players which made him keen to lean the sport. At a tender age, we witnessed Yahya’s remarkable ability to learn the chess from his father and developed superior IQ level in his peer group. A few years later, we were overwhelmed to notice his progress when he challenged players of higher age in family matches and have also contested the same successfully.  Seeing his voraciousness to learn more and to not limit his ability to just family matches, we have decided him to get professional assistance from PCA in improving his game further. With the guidance and support of the academy and especially his personal coach Mr. Baibav Mishra we see remarkable improvement in playing ability of Yahya in just 2 months. We see PCA as his 1st stepping stone toward him becoming a successful chess player and we trust upon Yahya that he shall in coming days will surely make our family and academy proud with his achievements. Thank you, Mr. Baibav Mishra and PCA for your endeavor and we look forward for your continuing support”.

Coach feedback on Yahya:

“Yahya is a very enthusiastic kid possessing high memory power which makes him different from others. A beautiful trait of his character is that he is very humble and is always ready to share his knowledge. Whatever puzzles or topics we discussed in the class he was always the first one to answer without fearing of being laughed at, if he is wrong. Such open mindedness makes him a great learner. He has almost won more than 10 practice session in such short span of time. He also scored full points in the MCL Championship which was indeed a great achievement for a kid who haven’t completed one month of training.

I also would like to add that as a coach I feel extremely proud that Yahya is my student and admire him a lot for his dedication and love towards the game”.
