2. Chaithanya Telugu

“Chaithanya is 7 years old studying in 1st grade. He is a very joyful kid with full of energy. Always shows interest in learning new things. He joined PCA as a newbie to chess in DEC 2020, since then chess has become a part of his daily life. Whenever he gets time he gets involved himself in playing chess online. We noticed a tremendous improvement in his skills and logical thinking. A very interesting thing is he not only plays chess, he also watches other games and tries to predict the moves and analyses of the game, that impressed me a lot. A very big thanks to his coaches Mr. Swapnil Raj, Mr. Tushar Sharma and Mr. Ravi Kant. You are the heroes behind his success. This gaming interest made him involved in other puzzle games too like Rubik’s cube.”

Coach feedback on Chaithanya:

“Chaithanya is a good learner and also a good listener. He always revised the things that are taught in the class. He is very attentive in class who tries his best to answer the questions that are asked in class. He used to participate in practice sessions with great enthusiasm & always has a positive mindset while playing games. I wish him very good luck for his Chess Career”…
