Our mission
Deliver world-class chess education that is structured, personal, and practical for each student's level.
About ChessBrains
A chess academy built around attention, ambition, and joy.
ChessBrains was founded to give young players the kind of coaching families can trust: thoughtful placement, strong fundamentals, titled expertise, and a warm learning culture.
Our story
Founded by players who understand both excellence and childhood learning.
ChessBrains Academy was founded in 2023 by WIM Vinuthna Nalluri and Suman Kalavagunta, two lifelong chess people with a shared passion for shaping confident, creative thinkers.
The academy is built on a simple idea: students improve best when they are challenged, supported, and seen as individuals. We teach chess as a path to focus, resilience, and better decisions.
Our philosophy
Quality over quantity: right-sized groups, thoughtful feedback, and coaching that helps every child feel noticed.
Our standard
Teach strong chess habits: calculation, planning, sportsmanship, tournament readiness, and emotional resilience.
What parents can expect
- Clear placement into the right group or 1:1 path.
- Coaches who explain ideas, not just moves.
- Homework and review that keep progress visible.
- A learning environment that values confidence as much as rating growth.
