Back to Where the Journey Began!

Fifteen years ago, the sound of chess clocks echoed through the corridors of Bima Nagar High School, where dreams were shaped—one move at a time.

Today, with immense joy and nostalgia, Indian Chess School returns to the place that was once the cradle of our early beginnings.

This isn’t just a reopening. It’s a homecoming.

To the same classrooms.

The same chessboards.

But a new generation of curious minds waiting to fall in love with the game.

🖤 We return with the same passion, stronger purpose, and a promise—to once again build thinkers, dreamers, and champions.

⏳ Let the memories inspire the future.

Chess as a Career – A Memorable Internship Experience with Ryan Group of Schools

Chess as a Career – A Memorable Internship Experience with Ryan Group of Schools

In my chess journey of over 35 years, I have had the privilege of delivering many types of lectures – from training sessions for students, workshops for trainers, to talks for corporates. Yet, I had never spoken on one unique subject: “Chess as a Career Option.”

That changed on 14 September 2025, when 62 enthusiastic students from Ryan Group of Schools visited the Indian Chess School at our Bima Nagar Centre. It was truly a first-of-its-kind experience for them – to discover how chess is not just a game, but also a viable career path.

I shared with them how one can build a future in chess through diverse avenues:

  • Working as a trainer or coach
  • Organising tournaments at various levels
  • Exploring ventures connected with the chess ecosystem

To make it more real, I gave examples of global success stories such as Chess.com and Digital Game Technology BV (makers of the world’s leading chess clocks and equipment).

The students also got a glimpse into the story of Indian Chess School – how it grew from humble beginnings into a reputed academy. I explained our business model, which includes:

  • Chess training – offline & online
  • Conducting tournaments across levels
  • Our Chess-in-Schools programme
  • A wide range of chess merchandise

What was meant to be a one-hour session stretched into two lively hours, thanks to the students’ curious questions and active participation. Their teachers, who accompanied them, expressed immense happiness at the first-hand exposure the children received.

For me and the entire Indian Chess School team, this will remain an occasion to cherish for a long time. Moments like these reaffirm that chess is more than a game – it’s a lifelong journey and, indeed, a career.

I am thrilled to unveil the cover of my latest book, The Chess Course for Schools! This book is a special milestone in my journey of promoting chess education, designed to nurture young minds and inspire a lifelong love for the game.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey! I can’t wait to share this book with schools, educators, and young chess enthusiasts.

Gukesh D Creates History: Youngest Ever World Chess Champion at 18

History has been made! Gukesh D has achieved an extraordinary milestone by becoming the youngest player in the history of the World Chess Championship to be crowned as the World Chess Champion at just 18 years of age, breaking the record previously held by the legendary Garry Kasparov.

Gukesh achieved this historic feat in dramatic fashion by winning the 14th and final game of the championship. In a tightly contested match, his Chinese opponent and defending champion, Ding Liren, blundered in an equal position, handing Gukesh the decisive victory and the world title.

This remarkable achievement makes Gukesh the 18th player to hold the prestigious title of World Chess Champion in the history of the game. He is also the second Indian to achieve this incredible feat, following in the footsteps of the legendary Viswanathan Anand, who first brought the crown to India and inspired generations of chess players.

Gukesh’s meteoric rise to the top has been nothing short of phenomenal. From being one of the youngest players to enter the elite top 10 rankings to defeating some of the greatest minds in chess, he has shown an unwavering commitment to excellence. His victory signifies not only a personal triumph but also a moment of immense pride for India, heralding a new era for Indian chess.

Let us celebrate this historic moment and congratulate Gukesh, his family, and his team for their dedication and hard work. May his journey continue to inspire countless young talents to dream big and take Indian chess to even greater heights!
