Although he has only recently begun exploring these activities, his dedication, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn have already helped him make remarkable progress—especially in chess. Bhavaansh has been practicing chess for the past three months, and we have been amazed by how much he has learned and improved in such a short period of time. Starting from scratch, he has developed a genuine interest in the game and looks forward to every opportunity to learn, practice, and challenge himself. His growing understanding of the game, improved confidence, and enthusiasm for learning have been truly wonderful to see. A special and heartfelt thank you goes to Coach Panchami for bringing out the best in Bhavaansh.

Coach Feedback
- A Young talent with Exceptional Potential😊 Bhavaansh has been an absolute joy to teach. He started his chess journey with me just three months ago with only a basic understanding of piece movements and his growth since then has been truly remarkable. In this short span, he has gained nearly 400 rating points, played close to 700 rated Rapid games on Lichess and solved countless puzzles purely out of his own curiosity. What makes him special is his ability to calculate multiple variations in a position and spot different tactical ideas ,something that is truly impressive for his age.
- The next exciting step for Bhavaansh would be to experience in-person chess tournaments. OTB games will help him develop patience,clock management and the confidence to apply his calculation skills against different opponents. More importantly, tournaments will give him the joy of experiencing competitive chess beyond the screen. Bhavaansh’s curiosity, enthusiasm and love for chess are his biggest strengths. His progress in just three months has been incredible and it is wonderful to watch him discover more and more about the game on his own. With continued practice and tournament exposure, Iam excited to see how far this young talent can go!
