The Dreaming Board — Where Young Minds Turn into Grandmasters

In a world where children chase fleeting trends, one timeless art continues to shape minds and inspire dreams — Chess.
For hundreds of young players in Chennai, that dream begins at Madras School of Chess (MSC) — the city’s leading academy founded by Grandmaster Vishnu Prasanna, the former coach of World Chess Champion D. Gukesh.

At MSC, the chessboard isn’t just 64 squares — it’s a canvas of creativity, courage, and critical thinking.
From T. Nagar to Anna Nagar, Mandaveli, and Online, our students learn to see the world the way masters do: one move ahead.

“When kids start to think before they move, they begin to see life differently,” says GM Vishnu Prasanna.

Our philosophy is simple: nurture the mind, not just the moves.
Every child is guided personally by certified trainers and FIDE-rated coaches who help them discover their unique playing style — turning curiosity into confidence and practice into progress.

Why Chess Feels Like a Dream to Kids

For children, chess feels magical.
A knight’s leap becomes a story, a queen’s defense becomes a promise.
At Madras School of Chess, that magic is transformed into mastery through a structured, playful learning environment:

• 🎯 Age-based batches for beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels
• 🧠 Personal mentorship with performance tracking and game analysis
• ♟️ Regular tournaments & internal leagues that build competitive focus
• 💡 Tactical puzzle labs and masterclass game breakdowns to deepen intuition

Every session is designed to spark imagination while sharpening discipline — that’s why parents across Chennai trust MSC as the place where focus meets fun.

🌟 The Emotion Behind the Game

Chess teaches more than strategy. It teaches patience, composure, and creative thinking.
Our students often surprise parents with their newfound calm, confidence, and ability to plan — not just on the board, but in academics and daily life too.

Champions in the Making: The MSC Success Story

At MSC, success isn’t measured only in trophies — it’s seen in the steady rise of our students’ performance across every batch and category.

🏅 Growing Every Day, Move by Move

Each month, our academy’s achievement board grows longer.
From district-level wins to state-level podium finishes, MSC students have been consistently outperforming in tournaments across Tamil Nadu and beyond.
Our juniors dominate under-8 and under-10 categories, while advanced batch players now compete at national-ranking events with remarkable success rates.

Behind every medal is a story of mentorship, discipline, and passion — a reflection of the MSC ecosystem that blends analytical training with emotional encouragement.

“We’ve built a culture where improvement matters more than instant victory — and that’s what keeps our winning curve rising,”
— GM Vishnu Prasanna, Founder.

✨ Inspired by Legends, Guided by Masters

Following the legacy of Chennai’s very own Viswanathan Anand, our founder and coaches instill the same spirit of perseverance and curiosity that defines India’s new-age grandmasters like Gukesh D.
Through our hybrid training model — offline and online — we now reach students across India and overseas, nurturing the next generation of global thinkers.
