- We will rate you and lift your game to the next level.
- Will provide national and International tournament exposure.
- Our aim is to expand the minds of everyone playing and learning chess through analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
- If you learn fast and are good at tournaments, International training will be provided and the world players will be the ones with whom you will be competing with.
- Academic Lessons Chess can be as simple, or as complex, as you allow it to be. A grid of 64 squares of alternating colors that represent a frantic battle between two opposing military forces, with the objective being to decapitate the army by removing the king.
- There are a wide variety of strategies that can lead to victory, and the discussion of these strategies has taken place over countless decades of championships, dinner tables and games in the park. It’s not surprising that you’d be curious about this particular game, as it’s one of the most accessible, well-known activities of its type.
- To start with, you’ll need a chess set, although you’re perfectly capable of either buying your own or playing on the computer, as many operating systems now come with chess as pre-installed software. This is simple to set up, and will allow you to read about new strategies online as you play, similar to Online poker and other games you can play via the mouse and keyboard.
- You will also need some human opponents, as the computer can only teach you so much, and is often so infallible that playing one as a beginner can often be frustrating. Local chess clubs are numerous wherever you are, and it’s just a case of jumping onto the web and finding the nearest one to you.
- Once you’re on your way and have played a few games, you’ll begin to develop your skills and even your own strategies. It’s important to keep reading, and sites like this one will help you establish yourself as a major player. When you’re ready, in time, you can even enter tournaments and grand championships.
- So good luck, and enjoy your time controlling your forces on the board, as you’ll soon be a passionate, keen, smart chess player.
Begin your chess journey by going thru our Levels.
There are Five Levels. We are focusing on the first 4 Levels. Each Levels takes about 6 months, i.e. two 10-lesson units. Each Levels has a "Junior & Senior", such as Senior Level, which provides complementary material for the Levels and helps assimilate the knowledge, taught in the Junior Level. Senior Levels are highly recommended for most students to build a solid foundation. It takes about two to three years to finish 4 Junior Levels and 4 Senior Levels. We expect our students to reach the advanced level (1500) after the three-year training.
Goal of Pawn Junior Squad and Pawn Senior Squad: play a game from the beginning to the end confidently without any illegal move
Pawn Junior Squad: rules of chess, how pieces move, introduce attack and defend, check, checkmate
Pawn Senior Squad: advanced attack and defend, board vision, exchange, mate patterns, draw, passed pawn
Goal of Bishop Junior Squad and Bishop Senior Squad: To know most basic tactics, start playing chess tournaments.
Bishop Junior Squad: opening principles, basic tactics including: double attack, pin, eliminate defense, discovery attack, mate in two, and defend against mate

Of course, even the best system requires hard work from the students. The students should play a lot of games, and work on thousands of tactic problems outside classroom, otherwise theory or knowledge will stay on paper and not in their games.
We wish your children could benefit from this wonderful system, and become confident, mature chess players who will enjoy chess for life.
Many research and numerous studies have shown that chess can strengthen a child's mental clarity, fortitude, stability and overall health.
Some of the valuable gifts that we receive in chess are not intellectual but psychological and emotional. Good chess players are on a dual track of being aware of and utilizing emotions as much as honing cognitive abilities.
When students are playing they are:
- Learning how to accept responsibility for their decisions and choices.
- Adding and subtracting
- Reading a graph
- Evaluating risk vs return scenarios
- Establishing self discipline
- Learning how to concentrate
- Applying what they have learned in a test format
- Using visualization techniques
- Memorizing important patterns
- Identifying repetitive decisions that lead to trouble
- Learning social and team interaction skill sets in emotional settings
- Create a record of their decisions by recording their moves in a game
- Asking self critical questions such as "If I do this now, what happens to my position down the line a few moves later" In other words "How are my current decisions today going to affect me tomorrow, next week, next semester etc?"
Chess can be part of a child's curriculum starting from age 5 years and upward.
The child can be enrolled for a minimum of one class of 2 hours per week to obtain the benefits of chess.
Chess takes a weekend to learn and a lifetime to master.
Our beginner level deals with all the rules and laws of chess. The child needs up to 6 months to complete this level.
All members of Prime Star Sports Services will be provided with an International Standard Chess Kit and a Prime Star T-Shirt. We require that all students wear the Prime Star T-shirt and bring the chess set to class. The child also has to get a notebook with pens or pencils.

Prime Star aim is to make learning Chess fun and to create champions.
We utilize a learning system that ensures there are no gaps in student's knowledge. The student only moves onto the next level after he/she "qualifies" on each topic at the current level.
Our course introduces the psychological aspects of the game and avoids the pitfalls of less extensive courses. It would allow anyone of average ability to absorb all the rules and skills of chess that are necessary to become a strong chess player.
Chess tournaments teach sportsmanship, social skills and persistence. They provide excellent practice and generate motivation for improvement.
6 months to 1 year. When your child is familiar with all the rules of the game and can finish a game without any difficulty, He/She can start to play in tournaments.
There is nothing like being fully ready for tournaments. They will make mistakes; They may lose games and cry. They will also learn to accept the highs of winning and lows of losing as part of chess and life.
We don't need them to be perfect model student before being allowed to play in tournaments. This is like real life and not performance on stage. They grow up by learning from their mistakes.
Let them compete, get excited and get experience.

Testimonials
Hriday, my 11 year old; has been a swimmer since he was 4, and has been training at Prime Star Sports Services for a little over a year now. Along the way both he and my younger son took up Badminton as well. I think there can be no better testimonial than the simple fact that both my children are happy and feel that they belong with Prime Star. They train for long hours without cribbing, and never do I have to nudge them to go for training. That speaks volumes about how comfortable, secure and welcome they feel at the academy. As a parent, I like the warmth at the Academy and have seen my children grow and improve in their sport. Like any other place, there are areas they can improve and am sure as they grow, they will. Here's wishing the Prime Star team all the very best!
"Primestar is a fabulous sports academy ,where kids are trained to become true champions with the right spirit of life, moreover club has a great family atmosphere synchronized by coaches , parents and the management . We feel proud to be part of the prime star family "
Student Name: Aaryan Sriram | Activity : Swimmimg | Location : Egyptian Club Commitment and focus leads to success' is something we have all heard but as part of the Prime Star family my child experienced how the commitment and focus of others can lead to ones success....Having trained with Head coach Fransir Sir since the age of 7, my son Aaryan learnt what dedication and single focussed pursuit of excellence can do. His time with Prime Star taught him that success is a by product when you are true to your passion. For Aaryan, his coaches are his friendsnd the swimming pool is his playground. 
My twins Aradiita Sunder Iyer and Adwaita Sunder iyer (age 13) have been swimming for nearly four years and have participated and won medals at several competitions··including some prestigious ones like CBSE national India ,Open national India,Emirates cup etc···their medal count touching a hundred or more.
