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 the below 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 (November 2020) at Premier Chess Academy, Middle East!
1. Yash Naresh Rathod
“Yash is 8-year-old, he is very good at problem solving, he is math’s genius and loves all sort of challenging games, it was always difficult for us to keep providing him the same, he successfully learned solving 3*3 Rubik cube then 4*4 and finally done with 5*5 all by himself that too in a year time. One day while searching we came across Premier Chess Academy and going through the review as well as after attending the demo class with Mr. Siddharth Bhat, we decided to enroll Yash for chess classes with him. Finally, Yash has found what he really needed the most. And due Chess classes he has become more focused. He is now spending all his free time playing, learning, practicing, searching, and even watching chess on YouTube. Thank you to Mr. Siddharth and all PCA team for their great effort”.
Coach feedback on Yash:
“Yash carries a very high self-esteem in chess which is rare to find, when other kid doubts themselves, he carries himself well and that make him very dangerous for his opponent to play against. He always tries to learn something new in chess by his own on internet and always try to be creative in chess. He tries to find Novelty in chess, is what makes him champion! He is relentless and his imagination and calculation in chess is extreme looking at only 4 months of chess coaching in Premier Chess Academy! He is a superstar, if he continues his passion like this i am sure he will be the one to watch out in future and go completely professional in chess”.
