At YPAAT Chess Academy, founded by FIDE Instructor Moorthattil Hari Kumar, we believe every student learns differently. The meaning of YPAAT is Your Personal Assessment and Training, and this philosophy is at the heart of our teaching method. Instead of using the same training style for everyone, we carefully assess each student individually and provide personalized chess training based on their thinking style—whether they naturally prefer attacking, defensive, positional, or material-based play.
Our Beginner Chess Course is designed to build a strong foundation step by step. We start with the basics and gradually develop the skills required to understand the game confidently.
