About Chandrajeet
His journey took him from playing tournaments to coaching children in Delhi and later returning to Udaipur to build something of his own. In 2018, he started Kingdom of Chess with just four or five students in a small room.
As his students began winning state and national medals, Chandrajeet saw an opportunity to make quality chess coaching accessible to far more children. What started as a small academy has since grown into a global online chess academy serving students across 30+ countries.
Chess has given me more than a game to play. It taught me how to think, stay patient, and keep going when the position looks difficult. I started Kingdom of Chess because I wanted more children to experience those lessons through the right guidance.
