Our Story
We are Thailand’s first Ministry-certified chess school, leading in quality chess education with programs tailored to three skill levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Meet the Founder
Drawing on 25+ years as a chess player and trainer, FM/FT Jirapak Pitirotjirathon founded JCA Chess School, formerly known as JCA Chess Academy in 2011 with a mission to empower young minds.
"Learn systematically, develop all-round skills, excel in competition."
As a former Thailand Chess Champion (2008), a FIDE Trainer certified by the World Chess Federation (2013), and Thailand’s National Head Coach (2021–2024), Jirapak brings a wealth of expertise and passion to the school, guiding students to reach their highest potential.
