Think Ahead.
Chess Coaching in Visakhapatnam
Great Move Chess Academy is a chess academy in Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, coaching children and adults from their first move to rated competition — in person and online, since 2015.
A decade of teaching the game as a discipline, not a diversion.
Since 2015, Great Move Chess Academy has trained players of every level — from first-time beginners learning how the pieces move, to competitive juniors preparing for state and national events. Our approach treats chess as a discipline: patience, calculation, and composure under pressure, taught with the same rigor a serious sport demands.
Every session is built around the player in front of us, not a fixed curriculum — because the way a seven-year-old learns to think three moves ahead is not the way a tournament veteran sharpens their endgame. We teach in person in Visakhapatnam and live online, so students can train with us either way.
