Yaduvir Singh Mengi:

Parents’ feedback about Yaduvir:

Yaduvir is an incredibly creative and strategic young individual with a deep passion for chess. His journey with chess began at home when we invited a teacher to introduce the game to his elder sister. To our surprise, Yaduvir, at just three years old, showed remarkable interest and skill. He loved playing chess with his grandfather and continued to hone his abilities with his parents. His talent and enthusiasm for the game have been evident from the start.

Yaduvir is always eager to learn new skills and shows a remarkable willingness to explore and master them. His kindness and compassion shine through in everything he does, making him not only a talented player but also a wonderful person.

Recently, Yaduvir wrote a story about chess and introduced the game to his classmates, sharing his love for the game and his strategic insights. He enjoys discussing his strategies and even helps his opponents improve by offering advice on how they could have played better.

With the support of coach Nilesh at Youngbuds Chess Academy, he excelled and continued to develop his skills. In the past month, he participated in two tournaments and performed exceptionally well.

We wish Yaduvir all the best for the future. With his dedication, compassion, empathy for others, and humility, we are confident that he will achieve whatever he sets his mind to.

Shlok Yadav:

Parents’ feedback about Shlok:

Shlok is a 13 year old teen who loves to read and go to the library. One day, when he went to get his books, he saw a chess club in session and decided to join. Ever since then, he has been learning more and more about the game, trying out new ways to play. Though he hates to make mistakes, Shlok makes sure to learn from them and not let them push him down. Since we never played chess, it was amazing to see Shlok blow us away by beating his friends in ways we didn’t know. He has also been playing in school, enjoying the game with his friends. Seeing Shlok enjoy the game is amazing to us and we hope that he keeps up the work and keeps having fun. Thank you to Coach Nilesh from YBCA for helping him sharpen his skills.
