Hey Chess Gaja Learner,

Quick thing before we dive in

We’re thrilled to share that GM Priyadharshan was honored with the Runner-Up award for Chess Gaja in the BEST Global Organization – Golden Excellence Awards at IBCN 2025. This is a truly special milestone it’s the first time Chess Gaja has been recognized on a global stage like this, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support

Just a remainder...

GM Priyadharshan will be in the U.S. this August.

He has been invited as a speaker for the Smart Moves Summit August 4–5 in Washington, D.C. on where educators, chess leaders, and young talents from across the globe will gather. (You can check out the summit details below.)

👉 Here’s the official summit details

Following his participation at the FIDE Smart Moves Summit in Washington, D.C., GM Priyadharshan will be traveling across several U.S. cities in the days that follow.

He’d love to connect with members of the Chess Gaja community, whether you're a student, parent, or fellow chess enthusiast — over a quick coffee, a 1-on-1 conversation, or a casual group meetup.

This is a great opportunity to:
– Chat about chess learning, training, or tournaments
– Share your feedback or ideas
– Just say hello and connect in person!

If you'd be interested in meeting up, let us know where you're based — we'll do our best to make it happen!
