Master the Game. Sharpen the Mind
Join Mindful Chess Academy – where strategy meets focus. Learn, play, and grow through the power of chess.
Mindfulness Meets Grandmaster Strategy
We believe chess is more than moves on a board; it is the discipline of calm under pressure, clarity of foresight, and deliberate calculation.
Cognitive Clarity
Develop deep analytical thinking and patient pattern recognition that translates seamlessly into academic and lifetime decision-making.

Learn structured classical repertoires, positional theory, and sharp endgame calculation under active international titled mentors.
Mindful Resilience
Cultivate emotional equilibrium during tournament clock pressure, learning to evaluate every setback as a stepping stone to tactical victory.

"My son and daughter have been attending online chess classes for the past few months with Mindful Chess Academy. We see initially sceptical if they would be interested to learn as it is online and to our surprise, they truly enjoy them. They eagerly look forward to each session, as they get to solve chess puzzles and play games with each other. Belli is highly professional and always punctual, teaching in a way that the kids easily understand. Despite being based in the UK while Belli is in India, the class schedule aligns well with UK school hours, making it very convenient for us. Belli’s expertise in chess is evident, and our children have learned a great deal since joining. I highly recommend Belli and Mindful Chess Academy!"
