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.
