Building Better Thinkers
Through Chess
Founded in 2020, Torus Chess Academy began with a single belief: that chess changes children — not just how they play, but how they think, decide, and persevere throughout life.
Beyond Wins
and Losses
Torus Chess Academy was founded by our founder after years of coaching at the national level revealed a gap: India had plenty of competitive chess infrastructure, but very little that made chess joyful, accessible, and genuinely developmental for young children.
We built Torus to fill that gap. Every online chess programme we design starts with the child — their age, their temperament, their attention span — and works backwards to the chess. The result is a curriculum that grows confident thinkers who happen to also play excellent chess.
Today we teach students across India, UAE, USA, Qatar, Canda, India, Nepal, Singapore, Australia, South Africa, UK, Germany and beyond — all united by the same belief that the board is the greatest classroom ever invented.
"Chess is the gymnasium of the mind."
— Blaise Pascal
Our Values
Every lesson, every session, every interaction is guided by six principles that make Torus different from any other online chess academy.
