Avane Chess Academy

This academy is located in Venkatasa Colony, which is a decent and quiet part of Pollachi. We are not a big institution with hundreds of employees or anything like that. It is mostly just a few of us who really like chess and want to show others how the game works. We have tables, wooden sets, and clocks set up in the main room. The space is usually very quiet, except for the sound of pieces moving on the boards or someone sighing over a bad move they just made. Sometimes we have to remind the younger ones not to run around too much between their games. Pollachi is a nice town to live in, and being near the Palaghat road makes it easy for people to find us without much trouble. We do not have a big glowing sign out front, just enough of a nameplate so you know you are at the right house. We spend our evenings looking at boards and explaining why a certain move didn't work out as planned. It is not a high-pressure environment here. If someone wants to learn, we just sit down and go through the moves. We have some old chess books on the shelf that people can borrow if they want to study at home. The lighting could be a bit better in the back corner, but we make do with what we have. It is just a hobby that turned into this little academy.
