Chess Involves Calculation
Chess is the mind’s gymnasium. Chess is a game with infinitely futuristic calculations from numbering the attackers and defenders of a simple exchange to calculating humongous continuations. It requires you to calculate the depth of your opponent’s mind.
Chess Helps You With Decisions
A chess player has to take various decisions while playing the game based on different movements on the board and the best move is to be chosen within a limited period of time, which helps us make the best decisions in real life too.
Chess Enriches Logical Reasoning
Like other logical activities, the action reaction mechanism is dominant in chess. Chess is a game of complexity and one has to be logically strong to break the walls of the opposition, enter into the kingdom of victory and get crowned as a champion.
Chess Enhances Scientific Thinking
Chess enhances the way we think by generating numerous variations in our mind when we play. It helps us to find new ideas, predict the outcomes and interpret them effectively. The hypothesis is decided and the move is made before testing it.
Chess Discovers The Hidden Artist
The game of chess brings out the artist in you for chess itself is an art. Human imagination is wild and in chess, your imaginations can fly endless up to 264. The hidden artist in you will be woken up as you go on picturing the big and strategic moves.
Chess Improves Patience
Patience is the key to open the untapped potential in any source. Since chess is a game one might have to wait or think on for hours and hours for making one move to another, the patience in oneself increases subtly enabling to have a greater edge in mastering the same.

Testimonial
Dr.N.Mahalingam Chess Academy started by Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore is a fitting tribute to Thiru Arutchelvar’s vision about chess. This Academy should follow the footsteps of Dr.N.Mahalingam to contribute its facilities and benevolence to the chess players of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and India. Chess Academies are not much in Tamil Nadu especially in rural areas. Having this type of academy will give exposure to many talented Chess players who are not in a position to spread their wings outside their home place.
