Parent Feedback –
Raphael is an 8year old boy who currently lives in Kuwait. He started playing chess around a year ago just by observing his elder siblings playing. He used to show patience by just observing ongoing game. In order to see whether he stay interested or not i just one day explained home the moves of each coin.
I was surprised when I saw his passion by playing with anyone he met . He was not scared of loosing he wanted to play more and more. that’s when we realised he needed to be moulded in the right way. his mother decided to join him with his coach, Sagar sir, a gentleman and a tolerant teacher around 2024. Since then he has learned several tactics and moves that help build up his strategy over a course of a game and continues to refine and develop new skills under the watchful eyes of his sir
Missing a class one day means me and wife are going to see an emotional little Raphael throwing tantrums till another class has been arranged.
Hoping for him to continue growing under his mentors guidance.
Coach Feedback:
