Dynamo Chess is a strategic management game and a re-creation that ensures original thinking, learning & enhancing the brilliance while playing.
Pradeep Sadani, a Kolkata based realtor with almost three decades of experience in the business world had long felt that the ancient game, though timeless, was now unable to capture fully the complexities of life in the modern world. Over time, he began to dream of designing a newer, more complex version introducing further variables into the historic game. Under the expert guidance of Sri Dibyend
u Barua, India’s second Grand Master and Sk. Shahid Ahmed, India’s first Arena Grand Master, Mr. Pradeep Sadani set out to turn his grand dream into reality by creating an updated version of the game that could challenge the modern mind and reflect the increasing complexity of life in the 21st century. The product of this labour is Dynamo Chess Board. The launch was organised on 23rd March 2015 at ICCR Kolkata, in presence of renowned Grand Masters and the press/media. Everyone is born with special qualities. But, these qualities are given in the form of potentials. There is a genius hidden in every one of us. Dynamo Chess is a strategic mind game that can bring out the genius in you. There are exciting times ahead for the game as it looks to incorporate itself officially and begin hosting tournaments in 2015. Our new innovation of Dynamo Chess is a contribution towards “Make in India” and will bring pride to the country.
