Chess is no ordinary game. Here every move matters.
Since the dawn of civilization, chess has been constantly applied in various spheres of life such as relationships, team spirit, opportunities, and safety. Chess teaches us to:
Move On
Sometimes we have to give up something in order to achieve something better.
Think differently
Always plan the next move being in the shoes of your opponent.
Aim High
A pawn can promote itself up against the ladder if aimed high and played well.
Team spirit
One strong piece on the board seems worthless without a team to support it.

“Hello guys, I know Ramu Kandi Anna for over 18 years now. He is a very strong chess player and we played many National and International tournaments together. His positional understanding of the game is outstanding!!! A few tournaments we played together in Bangladesh, Pune International open, where Mr. Ramu’s insights and mentoring helped me score well against GMs and IMs. He is very creative and original thinker. I particularly remember the National Open Rapid chess championship at Kolkata in 2005, where he encouraged me to play a surprising opening Novelty in an unusual Sicilian defence setup with 5.Bd3!? which helped me beat 2 IMs in consecutive games! I am excited to hear that Mr. Ramu has started a Professional Chess Academy in Hyderabad, and it is a great opportunity for all the young kids to learn and succeed!! Good luck champs!!”
