I’m so happy to share a few words about my daughter Reshvika, who is just 5 years old. She is a bright, observant, and curious little learner with a deep interest in ♟ chess. Even at this young age, she amazes us with her focus, patience, and ability to think a few moves ahead — qualities truly rare to see in someone so little! 💫
After exploring many academies, we chose Young Buds Chess Academy, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made. The way they nurture young minds, build confidence, and make learning so engaging is truly commendable 👏
We’re deeply grateful to Young Buds Chess Academy for recognizing Reshvika as the 🏅 Star of the Month! It’s a proud and heartwarming moment for us as parents — and a wonderful motivation for her to keep learning and enjoying the game she loves ❤
A very special thank you to her coach, Mr. Aniket, who has been an incredible mentor. His patience, encouragement, and passion for teaching have made chess such a joyful journey for Reshvika. 🙏
Thank you for making learning an experience they look forward to every single day! 💖♟
Coach’s feedback about Reshvika:
Reshvika is a very young kid.
She is not very talkative,
but when it comes to chess, she becomes an extremely focused girl.
She is just 5 years old, yet her gameplay is already beautiful.
Her ability to understand positions and openings is truly amazing.
If she continues like this, the day is not far when she will become a Great player.

Nivedh Nelavoy :
Parents’ feedback about Nivedh:
I would like to share my appreciation for the efforts you are putting into the chess classes. We are truly glad to see Nivedh being selected as one of the Stars of the Month.
We have noticed that Nivedh not only enjoys the classes but also shows more focus and patience while playing at home. Over the past few months, I have observed significant progress in his strategic thinking. The practice games, explanations, and encouragement you provide really motivate him. He has also started applying some of the techniques he learns in class during his personal practice at home, which is exciting to see.The way you encourage and engage the kids makes a real difference.
Thank you for continuously motivating him and providing such a supportive learning environment.
Coach’s feedback about Nivedh:
A huge and heartfelt congratulations is in order for Nivedh on being selected as a Star of the Month. This achievement is a direct reflection of his wonderful dedication, the positive attitude he brings to every class, and the consistent effort he has been demonstrating. He has cultivated a fantastic balance of being a keen competitor and a collaborative learner, which makes him a true pleasure to teach.
The insights you shared about his progress at home are particularly meaningful. Learning that he is showing increased patience and focus, and is actively applying techniques from class to his personal practice, is the core of what I hope to achieve. Chess is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking and resilience, and hearing that these skills are visibly transferring beyond our sessions is the highest compliment I could receive. It’s exciting to see the game come alive for him in this way.
I am also deeply encouraged to know that the class structure—the mix of practice games, explanations, and encouragement—is resonating with him so effectively. My primary goal is to foster a supportive and engaging environment where students feel motivated to explore and challenge themselves. Seeing Nivedh thrive in that atmosphere and respond with such enthusiasm is incredibly rewarding and motivates me to continue refining my approach.
Your partnership in this process is invaluable. The interest and support you provide at home are fundamental to his growth and confidence. Together, we are helping him build a strong foundation not just in chess, but in critical thinking and personal development.
Ashrith & Anvith :
Parents’ feedback about Ashrith & Anvith:
Ashrith & Anvith since they joined Youngbuds chess joined the academy, they have become more involved and truly enjoy playing chess with their classmates. The welcoming and engaging sessions have made a significant difference in their enthusiasm for the game.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Mr. Welroy. He is a wonderful teacher whose remarkable patience and guidance have greatly contributed to my children’s love for chess. Under his mentorship, my kids has made tremendous progress in a short period of time.
We were thrilled to see Ashrith & Anvith participate in a local chess competition for the first time, where Ashrith earned 7th place. Witnessing his hard work and growth has been an incredibly rewarding experience for our family.
At home, I(Mom) often play chess with my kids. It’s truly amazing to watch the creative moves they come up with-I’ve even learned a few things from them! Their passion for the game continues to grow, thanks to the supportive environment at Youngbuds Chess Academy.
Thank you once again to Youngbuds Chess Academy for providing such a positive and nurturing space for children to learn and excel.
Coach’s feedback about Ashrith & Anvith:
Anvith and Ashrith have been an absolute delight to watch progress in class.
Ashrith, always the quick thinker, comes up with those slick moves while sitting in his office chair. He’s got this natural instinct for fast, brilliant plays.
Anvith, on the other hand, is all about taking his time to come up with those moves that no one else sees, all while looking very calm and chill on his couch/bed.
They’ve come a long way since they first joined, and their progress is clear. They’re always the first ones to show up and patiently wait for class to start (even during times when I’m not able to start the class early). It’s obvious they love the game and are really dedicated to getting better. Keep it going, guys!
