The King's School
Motto: Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it
Ethan has been schooling at The King’s School (TKS) since nursery days. To us, TKS is very much an integral part of Team #EthanVaz, without whose cooperation, encouragement, and financial support, we wouldn’t have been able to see the success that Ethan has achieved. As a family, we owe a lot to TKS!
Besides being a pillar of strength and moral support throughout Ethan’s chess journey, director Ligia Pereira and chairman Melvin Pereira have also provided financial support by not only waiving off Ethan’s school fees, but by going out of their way to fund Ethan through our crowdfunding campaign in a big way.
It’s actually not possible to put a number to the immense support provided by TKS, but the financial contribution easily runs to lakhs of rupees, year after year!
May Almighty God bless them abundantly always!

ChessBase India
Powering Chess in India
ChessBase was amongst the first to identify the talent in Ethan, as early as 2019, as can be seen in the first interview of Ethan, “Born in 2011, 7-year-old Ethan Vaz is a talent to watch out for!” by none other than ChessBase India CEO Sagar Shah himself. Since then, Ethan has had the privilege of being interviewed by ChessBase numerous times over the last 5 years, and, each time, we have derived immense motivation from IM Sagar Shah, Amruta Mokal, and team, to take Ethan forward on this journey.
Over the years, ChessBase India has been very instrumental in shaping the road ahead for Ethan. In the year 2022-23, they awarded Ethan with the The FTX Pragg Scholarship. In 2023-24 too, they have supported Ethan, and they continue to support Ethan through Help Chess Foundation.
More specifically, they have been providing significant financial support towards GM Coaching for Ethan.
