Parent Feedback –
Ishan is an 8-year-old boy who is currently studying in Grade 3 and lives in Doha, Qatar. He developed an interest in playing chess earlier this year and began learning the game with great enthusiasm. To improve his skills, he started attending chess classes with his coach, Mr. Ayush, in September 2025.
Since then, Ishan has learned different chess tactics, smart openings, and defensive moves that help him plan his strategy during a game. With regular practice, he has shown steady improvement in his focus, patience, and critical thinking skills. He also takes the initiative to watch chess tutorials and match videos online to better understand new strategies and strengthen his gameplay. ♟️✨
Coach Feedback:
It has been a true pleasure coaching Ishan and being a part of his chess journey. From the very beginning, Ishan has stood out for his sharp mind and quick grasp of concepts. He is an intelligent boy with excellent critical thinking skills, and his ability to come up with creative solutions on the board makes him very special.
What truly stands out is how Ishan absorbs new ideas so quickly and applies them thoughtfully in his games. His sharpness, curiosity, and eagerness to learn allow him to see possibilities that many kids his age might miss. Even when faced with challenges, he thinks deeply and tries to find the best move, showing maturity and potential beyond his years.
Ishan’s intelligence, sharp thinking, and growing understanding of the game make him a very promising chess player in the making. I look forward to seeing his progress, and I am confident he will achieve great things on his chess journey. He is truly a delight to mentor!
