Nurturing young Indian talent to checkmate competition
The Amity Chess Academy (ACA) has been set up with the aim to provide a platform for the budding chess players to hone their talents and make a mark in the game at national and international levels.
A testimony of ACA's endeavours towards nurturing young talents in chess, is Parimarjan Negi, an Amity student who went on to become the world’s youngest Grandmaster. Amity not only encouraged the young Parimarjan through Sports Scholarships but also sponsored his participation in numerous tournaments, at national and international levels.
Parimarjan has recently been honoured with the Arjuna Award for excellence in sports at a very young age.
