More than just a game

Master the
Minds

We don't just teach pieces moving on a board. We teach logic, resilience, and the art of pure thinking.

Our Mission

To Create Thinking Players.

Most academies teach you ‘what’ to move. At Royal Rooks, we obsess over ‘why’. We are building a generation of players who understand that every move has a consequence.

Whether you are 6 or 60, our structured path takes you from absolute beginner to confident competitor, one pure move at a time.

Common Questions

Royal Rooks Training

We recommend starting as early as 5-6 years old. This is when cognitive development is rapid, and children can easily grasp logic and pattern recognition. However, it's never too late to learn!
