Mahit :

Parents’ feedback about Mahit:
Mahit’s journey in chess began with simple games at home, playing with his mom. While he just learnt the chess pieces, their placements, and basic moves, mom quickly recognized his deep interest in the game.
It was around this time that we learned about Young Buds Chess Academy through a friend — and from there, there was no looking back. Mahit developed a strong passion for chess. He began exploring more on his own by watching chess related YouTube videos and playing regularly on Chess.com.
Coach Nilesh has played a crucial role in nurturing and sharpening Mahit’s skills. Mahit eagerly looked forward to his classes and especially loved the weekend tournaments, which became his favorite part of the week. Competing with his peers and striving to improve his rank brought him great joy.
We are truly grateful to Young Buds Chess Academy and Coach Nilesh for their support, encouragement, and for recognizing Mahit as the Star of the Month.
Coach’s feedback about Mahit:
Mahit’s ability to grasp new concepts quickly is remarkable and he’s very actively involved during the sessions. He’s always engaged, asking insightful questions and eager to improve.
He’s a pretty good listener and always willing to learn from his mistakes. This kind of proactive approach will definitely bring him great success in this game.
Keep up the excellent work !

Jordan Joby :

We introduced chess to Jordan at home but YBCA has truly made a difference in his journey with the game. Since joining, he’s not only improved his skills and understanding of chess strategies, but also developed a deeper appreciation for the game itself. What really stands out is the coach Manthan’s approach — always friendly, patient, and encouraging. The sessions are a perfect mix of learning and fun, which keeps him engaged and looking forward to each class.

It has been an absolute pleasure to coach Jordan. His calm and focused attitude during every class is truly admirable. He is always punctual, attentive, and respectful, that reflects his maturity and seriousness towards the game.

Keep nurturing that quiet strength and disciplined mindset. With your consistent effort and positive attitude, you have all the qualities of not just becoming a strong chess player, but also a great learner.
Keep up the great work!
Saharsh :

Parents’ feedback about Saharsh:
Saharsh is an energetic and curious young learner from Charlotte. He enjoys solving puzzles, riding his bike, gardening, and trying out new things. We introduced him to chess a few months ago, and he quickly developed a strong interest in the game.
Since joining Young Buds Chess Academy, Saharsh has been very enthusiastic about learning. He looks forward to every class and enjoys participating in weekend competitions. We’re amazed at how quickly he’s picking up strategies and using them in his games.
Saharsh especially loves solving chess puzzles with his coach, Mr. Roy, which has become one of his favorite parts of the class. We are very thankful to Mr. Roy for his fun and thoughtful way of teaching. His patience, encouragement, and deep understanding of the game have made a big difference in Saharsh’s progress. He creates a positive and engaging learning environment that keeps Saharsh motivated, focused and confident.
Chess has already helped Saharsh improve his concentration, patience, and decision-making skills. We’re excited to see how he continues to grow both as a chess player and as a person through this journey.
Thank you.
Coach’s feedback about Saharsh:
Saharsh is such a fun and curious kid to have in class! While a lot of kids his age are just itching to jump straight into games, he’s totally cool with sitting down and working through puzzles—even the tricky ones. That focus is probably a big reason he’s making such awesome progress!
One of the best things about working with Saharsh is how open he is—if he gets something, he’ll say it. If he doesn’t, he says that too. No hesitation, no guessing games for me—it’s all clear and honest, which makes teaching him a breeze.
Week after week, he’s getting better. Super proud. Keep it up, Saharsh—you’re on a roll!
Adwaya Chatterjee :

Parents’ feedback about Adwaya:
Adwaya is passionate for chess is truly inspiring, especially at this young age, he has already developed a genuine love for the game. In his spare time also he follows other chess masters strategies over the internet.
Over the past few months in class, we’ve noticed how eagerly he looks forward to each session. His excitement to learn, play, and interact with his friends during chess time creates a positive and energetic atmosphere.
Adwaya has a unique appreciation for pawns, recognizing them not only as a vital protective shield but also as pieces with the potential to be promoted to greater value. This perspective reflects both strategic insight and a thoughtful understanding of the game’s dynamics. His favorite move, en passant, reveals a deep knowledge of chess rules and an appreciation for its more nuanced aspects.
We wish, he continues to grow in his skills, keep exploring new strategies, enjoy every move, and above all, keep having fun!
Coach’s feedback about Adwaya:
Teaching Adwaya has been an absolute joy.
From the very beginning, his curiosity and eagerness to learn stood out. He listens intently, grasps concepts quickly, and applies them with remarkable clarity. What inspires me most is his consistency,he never forgets what he’s learned and always comes prepared to take on the next challenge.
Watching his growth has been truly rewarding, and it reminds me why I love teaching. Proud to be part of his learning journey!

Rudransh :

Parents’ feedback about Rudransh:
Thanks for recognizing Rudransh at this age.Nice to have coach like Abhinav to bear 5+ year kid and patiently teaching complex moves to him.
Rudransh started taking interest in chess when he was playing with his Dad around 6 month’s back and he was learning so quickly hence we decided to have professional chess classes for him.
Rudransh is always super excited to his classes 😄. We observed he is implementing his moves that learned in classes when playing among them.
Coach’s feedback about Rudransh:
Rudransh, when first came to the class was already excited to learn chess. Upon knowing about him a little, I came to know that he already was playing chess at home but still a 5 year old child requires a lot of hard work and patience, right? I was actually wrong! He grabbed everything so quickly I was extremely impressed. Things even children twice his age struggled to do, he was solving them easily. He truly is a natural talent and I hope he keeps on growing at the same pace or even faster!
