From not knowing what to do on Sunday mornings, I have now started waking up on time and preparing for matches to play chess here on Sundays. It's been a complete enjoyment for me.

Adithya Rengarajan Software Developer

It is an amazing break from my 9to5 weekdays. It helps me wind down after a tedious week and helps me clear my mind for the upcoming week.

Dharshini Designation

CCC is for everyone who loves chess. It’s a good place to socialise. For someone with social anxiety, CCC is one of the very few places I can socialise with no anxiety.

Pragadeesh Designer

CCC has made me fall in love with Chess. This is an ego-less environment where even after a loss, you discuss to improve your chess. All in all, it helps me reduce stress.
