The Rise of Women in Global Chess

The landscape of chess is changing. For decades, the sport was male-dominated, but today, some of the most aggressive and brilliant tactical games are being played by women.

The Guru Academy Initiative

We are proud to report that 40% of our top-performing students this year are girls. Our 'Queens of the Board' program has provided a supportive environment where young girls can thrive without the pressure of stereotypes.

Our students look up to legends like Judit Polgar and Hou Yifan. We believe the next Grandmaster from our city will be a girl who started right here in our beginner batches.
