What is Dynamo Chess?


Dynamo Chess carries a legacy born from passion, innovation, and years of dedication to the game. Conceived in 2014–15 in collaboration with Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua, it began as a bold experiment that soon evolved into a movement. From early tournaments and pioneering prototypes to a proud presence at the 2022 Chess Olympiad in Chennai, where the team connected with legend Viswanathan Anand, every milestone reflects a commitment to redefining how chess inspires learning.
