⭐ Coaching Legacy of Coach Manish Uniyal
A major strength of Sparkling Chess Academy is the experience of Coach Manish Uniyal, who has coached players from beginner level through serious competitive chess.
Coach Manish Uniyal has been associated with the development of International Master and Woman Grandmaster Vantika Agrawal, who trained under his guidance for several years. Reporting on Vantika’s chess journey also records her transition to home coaching under Manish Uniyal.
Vantika’s achievements provide an exceptional example of the level to which dedicated young chess players can aspire.
International Master Vantika Agrawal – A Remarkable Chess Journey
Vantika Agrawal, a chess player from Noida, has achieved outstanding success at the national and international level.
Her major achievements include:
* 🏆 Arjuna Award for Chess
* ♟️ International Master (IM)
* ♟️ Woman Grandmaster (WGM)
* 🥇 Team Gold – 2024 Chess Olympiad
* 🥇 Individual Gold – 2024 Chess Olympiad
* 🥇 Team Gold – 2020 Online Chess Olympiad
* 🥈 Silver – Asian Games
* 🥉 World Youth Chess Championship medal

At the 2024 Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Vantika won both the team gold medal with India and an individual gold medal on Board 4.
Her achievements were recognised with the Arjuna Award, presented in January 2025.
From Noida Chess Talent to International Success
Vantika’s journey is particularly meaningful for a chess academy in Noida because she is herself a Noida-based chess achiever. Her journey demonstrates how a young player can progress from learning and competing locally to representing India at the highest international level.
At Sparkling Chess Academy, this journey continues to inspire our approach to developing young chess players.

💻 Online Chess Classes in Noida
Sparkling Chess Academy also offers online chess classes in Noida, giving students the flexibility to train from home.
Online chess coaching can be particularly useful for children who have demanding school schedules or families who prefer the convenience of learning without travelling.
Our online training focuses on the same fundamental objective as our other programmes:
Better understanding → Better practice → Better decision-making → Better chess.
Students can work on tactics, calculation, strategy, openings, endgames and analysis through structured online sessions.
⸻
🧠 More Than Just Chess Moves
Chess is not simply about learning how the pieces move.
A well-structured chess programme can encourage children to develop skills such as:
* Concentration
* Logical thinking
* Calculation
* Problem-solving
* Decision-making
* Patience
* Planning
* Discipline
* Independent thinking
Our objective is to help students become better chess players while developing confidence and a thoughtful approach to problem-solving.
⸻
🏆 Tournament-Focused Chess Training
Tournament experience is an important part of competitive chess development.
A student may perform very well during practice but face completely different challenges during an actual tournament.
That is why our training can incorporate:
Practice → Game Analysis → Tournament Preparation → Competition → Review → Improvement
Students learn to manage the chess clock, calculate under pressure, analyse mistakes and make independent decisions during games.
⸻
👨🏫 Personalised Chess Coaching
Every student is different.
A five-year-old beginner should not receive exactly the same training as a tournament player preparing for a FIDE-rated event.
Our coaching approach considers:
* Age
* Current playing strength
* Chess knowledge
* Tournament experience
* Individual weaknesses
* Individual strengths
* Competitive goals
The objective is to help every student progress from their current level to their next level.
