Our Story

A Passion That
Became a Purpose

Amritsar Chess Club was born out of a simple belief – that every child has the potential to think, create and lead. Chess is more than a game; it's a teacher for life.

We started this journey with a handful of students and a big dream – to build a strong chess culture in Amritsar and shape young minds into confident, focused and future-ready individuals.
