About Us
UCCF was founded in 2015 by Ramarajasekhara Reddi Sir, a passionate chess coach who began his journey by establishing Sai Leela Chess Academy (SLA) in 2001 at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. His vision was simple to make world-class chess coaching accessible to every student and to help them achieve success at all levels.
Over the years, his dedication and guidance have shaped UCCF into one of the most trusted chess academies in Telangana. We have trained thousands of students, helping them not just to play chess, but to build focus, discipline, and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime.
Today, UCCF continues that mission by offering both in-Academy classes and online training across the globe. We are proudly teaching students in India, USA, Spain, Canada, Australia, UK, Russia, UAE, and Sri Lanka, making it easy for learners everywhere to grow, compete, and excel in chess.
