A Gift to the Chess Community
Pathakjee Chess Academy was created with a simple purpose: to share the joy of chess and help people of every age develop concentration, logical thinking, patience and decision-making.
This is a non-profit initiative. There are no fees for learning. The emphasis is on understanding the game, enjoying the process and becoming a better thinker one move at a time.
WHY CHESS?
More Than a Game
Every move is an opportunity to think, learn and improve.
Learn Step by Step
Build a strong foundation through simple explanations, practical positions and regular practice.
Enjoy the Journey
Winning is enjoyable, but improvement, curiosity and learning from every game matter even more.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Rajendra Pathakjee
Founder & Chess Instructor
After retirement, I wanted to spend my time doing something meaningful. Chess has given me years of enjoyment and intellectual challenge, and I wanted to share that experience with others.
“Every learner who comes with curiosity will receive my patience, encouragement and my best effort as a teacher.”
My promise: learning comes before winning.
