2.Srijita Das
“Srijita Das is 8 years old and lives in Kolkata. She has being playing chess since 5years. She played several offline tournaments before the lockdown. But then she started losing interest and got addicted to social media and cartoons. Then I decided to enroll her in PCA under the supervision of Baivab sir. Now I can see her changes and again growing interest on chess. She loves Baivab sir as her own brother. We’re very happy with her progress. Special thanks to Baivab sir🙏 for all of his efforts and love for her. Looking forward…”
Coach feedback on Srijita :
“Srijita is a very tough-minded and talented kid in all respect. At such a young age, her attitude of accepting failure and also trying to learn from them is praiseworthy. She is a very hard-working, sincere, and disciplined kid who usually doesn’t miss out on any practice session. She is so dedicated and passionate about chess that at such young age she keeps practicing chess even when she has other activities and studies to accomplish. Her performance in classes, speed of solving puzzles, and approach to handling the problem are absolutely remarkable. In the last few months and especially in the month of June she has consistently increased her Lichess rating and won many practice sessions with the full score which makes her a perfect candidate for the Star Kid of June. As a coach, I feel quite privileged to have Srijita as my student. My best wishes with Srijita moving forward.”
