Parent Feedback

Initha has always been interested in chess and was excited to begin her journey. However, her initial experience with classes was not very satisfying, and her interest slowly started to fade. We were concerned as she began to lose confidence and enthusiasm. Later, we discovered Destiny Chess Academy’s online chess classes, which brought a positive change. With consistent guidance, she slowly regained her interest and started enjoying the game again. Her confidence has grown significantly, and she now looks forward to every class. She is comfortable learning and is able to grasp ideas clearly from her mentor, Yash Prabhu. She has developed great respect and admiration for his teaching style and support. The structured lessons and encouragement have helped her improve step by step. It is wonderful to see her progress and renewed passion for chess. We are hopeful that she will continue to excel and reach greater heights in this field. We truly believe Destiny Chess Academy will guide her on the right path toward success.

Coach’s Feedback

Initha is a very sincere and bright student. She began as shy and introverted, but quickly grew more confident—actively answering questions and participating in all class activities. It’s been wonderful to see her progress, driven by genuine interest, curiosity, and consistent weekly chess practice. I’m confident that Initha will continue to develop into a very strong player based on her dedication and performances
