The Coach
Coach Abidali
Head Coach & Founder
I am Abidali, a chess player and coach based in the UAE, originally from India. I founded Memorable Chess Club, where I train students through school programs, private lessons, and online classes. My focus is on building the growing chess community through events and tournaments.
My coaching philosophy is simple: chess is not just about winning games, but about developing the way you think.
Whether you want to win your first tournament or finally beat your father-in-law, I'd love to help you get there.

Why Chess
More than a game
Critical Thinking
Every move is a decision under uncertainty — chess teaches you to weigh trade-offs.
Concentration
Train deep focus that transfers to academics, work, and any creative pursuit.
Problem Solving
Recognise patterns, plan ahead, and turn complex positions into clear plans.
Confidence
Win or lose, every game builds resilience and a growth mindset.
