What Makes Us Different
At Brain Board Chess Academy, we don’t just teach chess — we build strategic thinkers and confident players. Our expert coaches, interactive methods, and proven training systems are designed to unlock your full potential, whether you’re a beginner or a tournament contender.

My son has been training under brainstorm academy since a few months and overall experience seems to be good. My son is little laid back and lazy but the coach makes sure that he doesn’t miss the class and gives personal attention to each and every student. I am constantly Monitoring during the class. I don’t think at such a low pricing anybody can give better classes than this. It’s my personal opinion and it may differ from parent to parent depending upon their expectations 🙂🙂
I highly recommend Brainstorm Chess Academy to anyone looking to improve their chess skills, whether you're a beginner or an experienced player. The instructor is excellent, and the class is well-organized. My son learned a lot and had fun doing it!
My son enjoyed these chess online sessions.
It helped him to improve his focus and get patient. Thank you Brain Storm Academy.
