♚About Us

Every player reaches a point where knowing the rules is no longer enough. They understand how the pieces move. What they need next is a plan the ability to think clearly and find the right direction when a position becomes unclear.


Dron Chess Academy exists to develop that ability.


Founded by Arena Grand Master Vaibhav Singh Verma, the academy helps students who already know the basics develop what often makes the difference: the ability to recognise patterns, understand positions, and make better decisions over the board.


Through 100+ hours of guided coaching, students build their understanding of openings, strategy, tactics, and endgame principles, with each concept building on the last until the board begins to make sense in a whole new way.


We are not chasing quick wins. We are building players who think clearly, make decisions with purpose, and approach every move with intent long after they leave our classroom.

Our Vision

Our Vision

Every parent who has watched their child freeze over the board knows the look. It's not a lack of effort or talent. Sometimes, a player simply needs someone to identify where their game breaks down and show them how to move forward.

We want to be that guidance. Our vision is to help every student who has ever felt stuck mid-game find something more valuable than another book: clarity, direction, and guidance from a coach who understands the game beyond its rules and knows what it takes to improve.

♟

Find the weak point first.

Find the weak point first.

A shaky endgame, a plan that falls apart under pressure, or a habit of calculating too quickly. We identify the gaps in a player's game before building a coaching plan around what needs to improve first.

Nobody improves by memorising pages of theory they cannot apply. Our students work through real positions, make their own decisions, and review exactly where their thinking helped—or held them back.
