We conducted chess meetings from our apartment initially, where the word spread, and people from faraway Kerala would come for spending chess quality time!

Golden Chess Centre | Class Structure
The first set of chess classes are spent on the introduction and learning the history and basic rules of chess.
As we progress, advanced strategies for the opening, middle, and end game will be introduced and trained with an emphasis on worksheets and practice.
Students will thereafter have the opportunity to participate in Internal academy chess tournaments.
Entering a starter-level kids chess tournament can be daunting for the first time, and we are here to help your child become a chess pro.
Our trainees experience the thrill of simulated tournament play supervised by an experienced chess coach.
A player’s advance in chess will likely pay returns by a lifetime of rewarding chess games.
Why Chess?
Competitive chess helps in fostering serious study, but tournament play isn’t the only reward. Young upcoming players may not be the best in their school chess tournament. But they will be getting ready for the next game against her father.
Many chess players consistently fancied solving chess puzzles to competing for over-the-board play. Some players relished solving chess puzzles and keep getting perennial joy in solving seemingly difficult chess studies.
The study of chess can be appealing and fulfilling in itself, and not every student trains to be a player in a tournament scenario.
