ABOUT US
Welcome to Noida Chess Academy! We are another venture from the team behind Delhi Chess Classes. Our academy is dedicated to teaching chess and helping young players from Delhi NCR reach their full potential.
OUR STORY
Our journey is rooted in a deep love for chess. Our founder, once a young dreamer aspiring to become a grandmaster, dedicated countless hours to practice and preparation. Despite his best efforts, a lack of coaching and study materials limited him to a peak rating of 2200, just falling short of his ultimate goal.
In 2003, he met a group of passionate young chess players from underprivileged backgrounds. Their raw potential and drive resonated deeply with him, He saw in them the same struggles and dreams he once had. This profound connection inspired him to establish Braingames Chess Academy, which has since flourished and become widely known as Delhi Chess Classes. This vision inspired grandmasters, international masters, and renowned coaches around the world to join us, contributing their expertise and support to our mission. Today, we are proud to extend our passion and expertise to NOIDA.
OUR VISION

And of course, we welcome all aspiring chess players to join our academy, where we are committed to bringing out the best in every student.
