I enrolled for the advanced tournament coaching batch and the improvement in my game has been phenomenal. The coach analyzes every game move-by-move and points out exactly where I went wrong. Highly recommend to any serious chess player.

The online classes are just as good as the offline ones. The coach uses a digital board and explains very clearly. My daughter has become so much more focused in her studies too ever since she started chess. Truly a life-changing academy!

Elite Chess Academy is the best thing that happened to our school's chess team. After our students trained here, we won the inter-school chess championship for the first time in 10 years! The coach's dedication and expertise is unmatched.
