“Jainam is a 10-year-old boy living in Singapore. He is a very active and energetic kid. He is quite passionate about outdoor sports like cricket, badminton, basketball, swimming, skateboard to name a few. He also likes to solve Rubik’s cubes. He started learning chess with PCA in early 2021 and ever since he gained interest & enjoy playing it. Initially, he felt pressure to play the match under limited fixed time and was losing a couple of matches but slowly he gained patience to understand the strategies and is now faster with his moves. Looking forward to further enhance his skills and fine-tune his strategies under the guidance of his Coach Aabhas.”
Coach feedback on Jainam :
“Jainam is a joyful child. He is very punctual for classes and makes sure to never miss a single session. Jainam’s improvement in classes is very much appreciable. Recently I have seen Jainam being very much attentive in the class and he pays full attention to all the topics which are discussed. In the practice sessions also Jainam tries to give his level best. The good thing about Jainam is that he takes his losing games as learning lessons. In the classes, while we analyze his games, he notes down his mistakes and makes every possible effort to overcome them. I am very much optimistic about Jainam’s growth in the world of chess Good work Jainam, I am happy to see you working like that.”
