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 advise, “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 (April 2023) at Premier Chess Academy, Middle East!

1. Shruthika Sunil

Shruthika is a 10-year-old child living in Qatar. She is a very good reader and passionate about books. Her second area of interest is chess, and others are writing, listening to music, and exploring new things. She is attentive and has pretty good imaginative skills. She is very fond of animals and enjoys getting out in nature. She developed an interest in chess while playing with her father just for fun. During the pandemic, she started exploring different board games, and chess became her favorite among others. Upon seeing the interest and enthusiasm, we enrolled her in Premiere Chess Academy four months ago. Now we can see a lot of improvement in game strategies, puzzle solving, and practices.Her coach, Mr. Mihir Mehra, is supporting her in every aspect of chess and helping her move to the next level. Thank you for your inspiration and bringing out the best in her. Your motivation helped her believe that she could do that. The way he starts the class is refreshing and relaxing for the kids. I really appreciate your guidance.”

Coach feedback on Shruthika :

Shruthika is one of the most disciplined kids I have come across. She is very hardworking and never missed any of her classes. She has performed very well in the past months and improved a lot too. She does critical thinking when it comes to playing games and makeovers, her ability to solve puzzles is a delight to watch as she solves the puzzles so quickly. So overall she is doing great. My best wishes to her moving forward. “
