In this process she want to set an example by winning the championship at one of the strongest tournament in Iran.

The tournament is being played at Ahwaz, Iran. This is located at south part of Iran. The hotel we are residing at Neyshekar Hotel. It is a very good hotel. The venue of the tournament is in the same hotel. The food is delicious, but for vegans has very limited options, but for non veg lovers, it is unbelievable variety. The speciailty of Iran food is Kebabs.

Under 13 is the age group where most of the players like to participate. This is the age group where they decide whether to takeup chess as a career.

ATC players thank GM practice group on whatsapp which provided an opportunity to practice while we are in Iran. It is a nice platform, where we get an opportunity to play with senior players at absolutely zero cost. We thank Mr. Rajashekar Reddy garu for developing this concept. Hope we see more senior players come in and share their chess skills. The ATC ideology of learning chess at zero cost meets our expectations, by playing at GM practice group.

We thank irish chess players for continous support. We specially thank Ireland chess union for their encouragement. Iran tournaments will help us to play a good chess at European Individual Championships at Batumi, Georgia.

We thank Arman tournament Executive Director (We call him Arman Jhohar) for bringing us to play in Persian region.

It is very interesting to watch this match. In the past Trisha made a win and a draw against Jishitha. WFM Jishitha yet to make a win on Trisha. The Ireland under 12 topper Trisha playing for ICU for the first time both played for AICF earlier. Trisha started her chess at Superkidschess whereas Jishitha took most part of her coaching at Mr. Ramaraju, a reputed coach of Telangana.

We have high regards for the two coaches

1. Mr. Ramaraju who is coach for world champion(under 14) Jishitha

2. AGM Tarun who is a coach for Irish topper (under 12) Trisha

WFM Jishitha has high chances of winning because of her recent performance at the world level. Jishitha has a reputed coach on her side. AGM Tarun who is co-founder of ATC played few practice matches with Trisha and he hope he posed high difficulties to Trisha in the practice matches and he believes Trisha can out perform Jishitha.

Best of Luck to both players and may the Best player wins.

Vishy Anand meets ATC co-founders Mr and Mrs Dayanand

It was around 4 pm in Mumbai. My Mom and Dad were accompanying me (Tarun) and my sister (Trisha). We are the other two co-founders of ATC. We were playing the last round in IIFL Wealth 3rd Mumbai Open International Chess Tournament.  I secured 6th rank and Trisha topper in under 2000 category. This is one of the richest tournament of the world. We were representing Ireland.

While we were battling out the last round, the other two co-founders of ATC (my Mom Nandita and Dad Dayanand) cherished a memorable moment of our lives – that is to spend about 10 minutes with Vishy – India’s first Grand Master.

These photos were taken in Sofitel Mumbai when they met Grand Master Vishy Anand for about 10 minutes. They discussed about ATC and the unique model that are running to ensure every chess player has equal opportunity to learn chess by practice. Anand was impressed and wished us all the best.

No doubt, we are jealous. We are happy too. But more than all, we are proud to be from ATC. My dad and mom spoke about ATC with Vishy. They have also asked the Grand Master to visit us in Ireland, for which he said he may surely consider if we invite him.

True Champions like Vishy Anand are legends who has the will power to fight back any time in their lives. Even at this age, Vishy has just crushed Magnus Carlsen recently and created buzzing news around the world.

We wish all ATC players to get inspired by the personality of Vishy Anand and master his skills and take chess to newer heights.

More than winning 6th Prize, I was delighted when my mom showed me the Autograph of Vishy Anand taken on our tablet. This is the prize winning autograph:

ATC introduced Free Blitz for power players, Classic match experience by experts for the players who are building their career in chess and on entertainment aspect we brought in ATC ka KBC which created lots of fun on the social media. We opened our new branch at Hi-tech city to provide ATC services to Cyberabad catchment area.

Our main aim is to provide facility to learn chess at affordable cost and make chess players to believe in themselves. Our experts guide the chess players to build their career and constantly in touch with the parents and the players.

ATC wishes to extend its services to other parts of India, as most of the parents and chess players of other states appreciated ATC services and its model. ATC is trying to take this concept to a different level by taking help of high intellectuals from premier business schools. ATC is also studying the mass grassroot level models from Ireland, Norway and Gujarat and trying to implement. The idea is to leverage the strengths of collective interest of chess players to play chess and reward them for playing chess, regardless of winning or losing a game.

On the technology front, ATC introduced online accounting system, robust model for rating. Though we made an attempt to reward the demolisher, we did not take it forward due to technical reasons. ATC has developed its own android app, where player can check his rating, his account online anywhere. You can search for “Chess ATC” in Android PlayStore and download the app. We planned to have a event for launch of this app, but our star players playing the biggest circuit of India’s GM tournaments, moving all over India from Bhopal, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. ATC players will soon get access to app in few days.

ATC Co-founders Tarun and Trisha wishes you all a warm and happy chess year ahead.
