Chess Quest Academy (CQA) was established in 2009 and has been providing professional chess training for over 17 years. We have helped players progress from beginner and unrated levels to 2100+ rating, making their chess journey structured, enjoyable and rewarding.

Our Achievements

• 100+ students have achieved a FIDE International Rating.

• Students have achieved city, state and national-level success across various age categories.

  CQA is a dedicated chess coaching academy committed to helping children discover, learn and excel in the game of chess. We believe that chess is much more than a board game — it encourages children to think ahead, concentrate deeply, make thoughtful decisions, solve problems creatively and remain patient when faced with challenges.

Our coaching programs are designed for students of different ages, skill levels and learning goals. Whether your child is completely new to chess, learning the fundamentals, looking to improve their playing strength, or preparing for tournaments, our structured approach provides the right guidance at every stage of their chess journey.

Through regular coaching, guided practice, tactical exercises, game analysis and practical playing opportunities, we help students understand not only what move to play, but also why that move is important. We encourage students to think independently, learn from their mistakes and gradually develop their own understanding and style of play.

Chess Quest Academy offers both online and offline coaching options, along with group and personalized classes. Our programs are designed to create an enjoyable learning environment while maintaining the discipline and consistency required for meaningful improvement. Students also get opportunities to participate in chess tournaments, allowing them to gain valuable real-game experience, develop confidence under pressure and understand the competitive side of chess.

Our goal is not simply to teach children how to play chess. We want to help them become better thinkers, more confident decision-makers and enthusiastic lifelong learners. At Chess Quest Academy, every student is encouraged to learn at their own pace, set meaningful goals and continuously strive to improve — both on the chessboard and beyond it.
