WELCOME TO
THINQ CHESS

Founders' Note

ThinQ Chess began with its founders, who saw more than black-and-white squares. They saw a way to help children build confidence, resilience, and the ability to think through every challenge, on the board and beyond.

The founders’ vision came from a deep need to do things differently—to create a space that wasn’t just about producing champions but raising thinkers. Today, we proudly run a growing academy where children aren’t just learning chess; they’re learning how to believe in themselves.

Every batch, every parent-teacher call, every game day reminds us why we started.

Really I felt very happy about my son focus towards the game and the trainer is so passionate to bring my kid practicing, and remember. We felt every grandmaster started right where it starts from here.
