The approach allows for creating individualized training mechanisms that improves the student's ability.

Suggestions are also sought from parents to enable faster and better development of their children. Indian children staying abroad are also benefitted through online classes using similar techniques.
Dakshin Chess Academy places value on the time, money and efforts of parents/ children and provides guidance at periodic intervals to enable greater maturity and temperament of the children and parents. Branches are currently located at Velachery and Pallikaranai.
Our Secretary Sa. Krishna, dedicates his gratitude to Mr. R. Prakash& Mrs. Chitra Prakash (2004 to 2019) for their continued support, service and encouragement in bringing this academy to the height of glory. During the lockdown and after I have been mentored by C R Kethareswari & M Padmanabhan who has been great support to motivate and guide further.
Chess requires players to analyze situations, think ahead, and devise strategic moves, helping to sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Remembering chess positions, rules, and patterns helps in improving both short-term and long-term memory, essential for success in the game.
Chess demands intense focus throughout the game, fostering better concentration and attention span, which can be applied to other areas of life.
With countless move possibilities, chess promotes creative thinking, allowing players to explore unconventional strategies and develop unique approaches to challenges.
