Bangalore North Chess Forum (BNCF) is a vibrant and nurturing community dedicated to promoting the love of chess. Founded in 2015 by two visionary women entrepreneurs, it was established as a non-profit entity with the heartfelt motto, "Let's Promote Chess!" BNCF aims to foster a deep-rooted passion for chess at the grassroots level, offering an array of engaging chess-related activities such as tournaments, training camps, and online webinars. The club is proudly affiliated with the United Karnataka Chess Association (UKCA), ensuring it adheres to the highest standards in chess education and tournament organization.
BNCF's unique charm lies in its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The club is not just a place to learn chess but a community where friendships are forged over the chessboard. The state-of-the-art training facilities provide an exceptional learning experience, enhanced by small batch sizes to ensure personalized attention and effective learning. Online classes via Zoom and on-premise sessions cater to various needs, making chess education accessible and convenient irrespective of one's schedule.
Bangalore North Chess Forum extends its mission beyond just teaching chess; it embodies a spirit of community and support. This was poignantly showcased when BNCF, in collaboration with Mysore Chess Centre, organized a fundraising tournament for Late Sheshadri’s family, raising a generous INR 1,80,000. The solidarity and contributions from the Karnataka Chess fraternity were overwhelming, highlighting the deep bonds within the chess community. Additionally, a benevolent patron stepped forward to cover the college fees for Sheshadri’s son, further exemplifying the club's commitment to supporting its members.
Regularly engaging in various initiatives and collaborations, BNCF organizes tournaments in association with BEL Officer's Club, adhering to international standards. The lush green surroundings of the venue, combined with the dedicated team of volunteers, make every event a memorable experience. Whether one is a novice eager to learn or an experienced player looking to hone their skills, BNCF offers a comprehensive and enriching environment for all chess enthusiasts. Join this lively community and discover the joy and challenge of chess in the heart of Bangalore!
