Gurukul Chess Academy has an experience of 20 years in promoting chess at grass root levels by providing Online & Offline chess coaching through various Schools, Colleges & University.
We have produced many prize winners at school and college level. We have trained many students to win championships and achieve International FIDE Rating. Many of the Gurukul students have competed in district, state, national and international tournaments.
Our aim is to bring out the best from every chess player by respecting and nurturing their individual talents and interests. We strive to give individual attention to all the students and help them realize their potential.We instill and encourage the habit of co-operation, collaboration and teamwork.
Online Chess Board + Video Conferencing + GCA Coach = Amazing Lessons! We use a live, interactive analysis board. As we make a move on the board on our end, the same move is reflected on the student’s end in real time. An hour of coaching can be divided into following elements. a) Chess Theory b) Exercises & Worksheets c) Puzzle solving d) Practice session e) Game analysis f) Chess stories g) Practice Tournaments
Gurukul Chess Academy conducts regular in-house as well as district/state/national level competitive chess tournaments.
Gurukul Chess Academy is not just about teaching few strategies from manuals or helping you find some good moves on the board. We believe the game of chess has the power to transform how you think and live your life, thus creating true chess champions and life champions.
