We are thrilled to share some incredible news about Advik Manchanda, a proud student of BASIS Cedar Park.

This January has been a milestone month for Advik – not only did he celebrate his 10th birthday, but he also received a prestigious proclamation from Texas Governor Greg Abbott recognizing his outstanding achievements in chess.

Advik’s dedication to the game has led him to remarkable success, including:

National Champion title

Candidate Master status

Silver medal at the World School Chess Championship in Peru, proudly representing Texas and the United States on the global stage

This honor is a testament to Advik’s relentless hard work, strategic mindset, and sportsmanship. We truly appreciate the continuous support from BASIS Cedar Park in nurturing young talents like him.
