Springer Academy of Chess

springer academy of chess (sac) is the brainchild of mr. shabdik varma, a chess prodigy who started playing chess at the tender age of 3.5 years and became the u-7 state chess champion in 2005. sac is a commonly used abbreviation of “sacrifice” in chess jargon. springer, on the other hand, is german for chess “knight” (which, in fact, is the logo of sac). right from his childhood, knight was always shabdik’s favourite chess piece. he was so drawn to knights because of its unique & tricky movement abilities and its usefulness in tactical combinations. as a kid, mr. varma was well known for his aggressive flank attacks and sacrifices/tactical combinations. later on, for his a00 – irregular opening surprises. springer academy of chess (sac) was created by knitting all these thoughts and memories together with an aim to bring out the true potential of every kid who strives to learn and master the game of chess.
