Parent Feedback

It’s been three months since my daughter started learning chess with Destiny Chess Academy, and the experience has been truly wonderful. In this short time, I’ve seen remarkable growth in her focus, patience, and strategic thinking.

The coach Ms. Panchami Sarpangala is extremely encouraging and knowledgeable, making every class both fun and challenging. She creates a positive environment where children feel excited to learn and improve. My daughter looks forward to her sessions every week, she now thinks through her moves carefully and even enjoys teaching us a few strategies at home!

I’m really happy to see how chess has boosted her confidence and discipline.

She plays chess rather than watching TV and I am happy about it.

Destiny Chess Academy has played a big role in nurturing her love for the game, and we’re excited to see her continue this journey.

Highly recommended for any parent looking to introduce their child to chess in a fun, inspiring, and professional way. ♟️

Coach feedback

One of the most hardworking, sincere chess students I have ever seen, who is always dedicated and enthusiastic to learn chess.

Aarzu is punctual and is the puzzle master of the batch! She is very good at analyzing the puzzle and understands the concepts very well.

Looking forward she has to aim on converting positions with slight advantage

to victory. It is possible by applying the middle game and endgame tactics learnt in the class to the games. If she focuses bit more on hanging pieces and attacks, she can avoid danger squares and be able to achieve her victory!

Being the queen of the batch overall Aarzu is doing very good in the classes, and she has bright future in chess and wishing her the best to shine💥
