Parent Feedback:

Kaashika is a spirited 8-year-old from Wellington, New Zealand, currently in Year 4. Beyond chess, she loves gymnastics and football, bringing the same energy and enthusiasm to everything she pursues.

And then came chess.

It all began with curiosity. Kaashika stumbled upon an online chess class and was instantly captivated, completely glued to the screen, eyes wide, mind racing with every move. What started as intrigue quickly blossomed into a genuine passion, and so began her chess journey with her coach, Sagar.

She didn’t just play, she thought. She listened. She observed. Under Sagar’s patient and brilliant guidance, she has steadily grown into a strategic little thinker, learning tactics and building her own style of play, one move at a time.

The improvement has been wonderful to witness. Kaashika now approaches challenges both on and off the board with calm, focus, and a quiet confidence that speaks volumes about her dedication and the quality of teaching she has received.

A heartfelt thank you to Coach Sagar, whose passion for chess has ignited something truly lasting in our little one. 🙏

We are incredibly proud that Kaashika has been recognised as the Brilliant Child of the Month. This little champion from Wellington is only just getting started.
