To further nurture talent and provide real-world experience, the academy hosts monthly tournaments. These events offer players the chance to test their skills, gain confidence, and prepare for higher-level competitions. Every two months, a district-level tournament is conducted, allowing players to shine on a larger stage. Additionally, special coaching is provided to help children achieve International FIDE Ratings, taking their game to an international level.
Embracing technology, Mother Chess Academy incorporates computer training and provides chess software to students, ensuring they have the tools they need to excel in the modern chess landscape. Every first week of the month, the academy offers free demo classes, introducing the game to new students and igniting a love for chess in young minds.
The academy is led by Balaga Ravi Kumar, B.Sc., LL.B., a senior chess player and coach since 2006, and Balaga Bhaskara Rao, M.C.M., Railway, who has been part of the Visakhapatnam chess scene since 1983.
