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 (June 2021) at Premier Chess Academy, Asia Pacific (Australia, Singapore and New Zealand)!

Under the dedicated tutelage of Coach Sidd, who has been extremely patient to guide the class, along with the competitive nature of Kyash, he has blossomed in the short period of about half a year, visibly growing confidence in the game. The online approach has also facilitated his learning and regular game plays organized by Coach Sidd have been absolutely helpful in honing his knowledge in the mind sport. He looks forward to every single lesson and I can’t thank Coach Sidd enough for fanning his love for the game!”
