Hrishikesh Chavan Sir encouraged my son to play chess tournaments

My son was always interested in chess since he was 4 years old but was not a professional chess player. We enrolled him in Gurukul Chess Academy when he was around 10 years old under the tutorship of Hrishikesh Chavan Sir. He encouraged my son to play chess tournaments. He himself has always been deeply involved in chess & always boosts the morale of all his students. He always analyzed the games which my son had lost or drawn and helped him to rectify the mistakes. Under his guidance and supervision my son became a Fide approved rated chess player. Hrishikesh Sir has been a really good tutor. It has been good experience learning under him and my son is proud that he is a student of Hrishikesh Sir and Gurukul Chess Academy

I am glad that I chose Gurukul Chess Academy for my son

My son Arjun Singh was just four years old when he joined Gurukul Chess Academy. I wasn’t sure if he would be able to learn chess, but he started liking the game in a short time. With the help of Coach Hrishikesh Chavan and his team, he quickly grasped the concepts. Soon he started participating in tournaments. Though he is the youngest in his age group, he has started winning prizes already. Every credit goes to Hrishikesh Sir and his team. I am glad that I chose Gurukul Chess Academy for my son.

I would recommend this Academy to anybody who wants to learn chess in a fun way and excel in the game

My son used to play chess since his childhood, but he did not have any professional training. I enrolled him in Gurukul chess academy when he was 14 years old. He started playing many chess tournaments under the guidance of Hrishikesh Chavan sir. He also started winning many tournaments within a few months of training. Today he also has an international rating in classical and rapid chess and the credit goes to Hrishikesh Chavan sir for this. Sir always supports his students not only during victories but also during their losses. He motivates them and boosts their morale. He also analyzes their games and makes sure that they do not repeat the same mistakes ever again. My son’s performance has increased drastically since I enrolled him in Gurukul Chess academy.

Great chess coaching by Hrishikesh sir

Great chess coaching by Hrishikesh sir. I have seen my daughter Khushnaz Dadrewalla growing from a novice to a rated chess player. Hrishikesh sir has been a coach, a friend, a mentor and a motivator and is really very good at keeping his students entertained. I wish that my daughter's college professors were as motivating and interesting as Hrishikesh sir and then she could have shone in her college field and gathered as many cups and medals that she has in various chess tournaments. He encouraged her to coach his students, participate in national and inter college tournaments. He also encouraged her to design logos, T-shirts and business cards and software for the institute. This way he helped her develop skills and in getting a sense of managing an institute on her own. He has contributed to her overall growth like a true father does. I wish his "Gurukul Chess Academy" all the best.

We enrolled our son in Gurukul Chess academy and experienced positive changes

Our Son is a very active child. He is always full of energy and curious about everything. It was difficult for him to sit in a place and remain involved in one thing for a longer duration. We were looking for something which will hold him for long and keep him interested. We enrolled him in Gurukul Chess academy and experienced positive changes. He really loved the chess and the environment created by Hrishikesh Chavan Sir in the class room. Hrishikesh sir took interest in every student and encouraged them to play in tournament. He guided and mentored them well. He kept the class alive with keen attention and occasional pranks to keep children involved, Yash learned many things and also won many medals. He made many good friends at the class. He will not move from a place for hours when he is playing chess. Later our daughter Sai also joined the class and enjoying the training. We thank Hrishikesh Sir for his guidance and wish good luck to Gurukul chess academy. We also thank Sir, madam, who assists in the classes.

Gurukul chess academy is one of the best chess institutes

Gurukul chess academy is one of the best chess institutes for both beginners and advanced players. Our daughter has been learning chess from Gurukul since more than a year now. Our initial intention for enrolling her to chess class was to help her build patience and focus. She was only 5 years and had not even seen a chessboard before getting enrolled here. Hrishikesh sir and the coaching staff here helped her right from basic understanding of chess to building her confidence and encouraging her all the time. At right time, sir even recommended and guided to choose correct tournaments for her to participate in. Learning and mastering this game is of course a journey for our daughter which would continue; but we can clearly see improvement not only in her patience and focus but also her chess understanding. She has participated in many tournaments and has been awarded for her performance. Another very important aspect is the punctuality and consistency with which the training sessions are conducted all around the year. The academy is really sincere not only about chess and coaching but also about encouraging everyone to spread the reach of this beautiful game. At the same time Hrishikesh sir ensures that kids learn at their own pace and he helps maintain balance so that kids are not overburdened and continue to take interest in their own game. Hrishikesh sir and the coaching staff are really outstanding in what they do and how they do it. Our daughter is just one example of how good the academy is and there are a lot other much greater examples. We would like to thank Hrishikesh sir and the coaching staff for all their efforts and guidance they have provided to our daughter and wish them all the best to continue doing better and better.

Gurukul chess academy is the best academy for your child of all age groups

Gurukul chess academy is the best academy for your child of all age groups. Hrishikesh sir is an awesome chess coach. My daughter Khushnaz who was doing her first year degree college, had joined his classes 2 years back and has won many prizes, medals, trophies and certificates and also has won the Best Sportswoman award in her college. Although she started learning chess as a beginner late in life, she was able to quickly learn under Hrishikesh sir's guidance and has shown a lot of improvement. From the time she has started playing chess her concentration, memory, focus, planning and foresight has improved which helps in her studies and her college grades too have improved. Hrishikesh sir is a very encouraging, patient, jovial, knowledgeable, highly experienced and also an excellent chess player. He has molded his students to be modest, humble and extremely down to earth yet at the same time be great achievers and give a tough fight to their competitors to get good ratings and win accolades.
