Arjun’s Chess Academy made history by becoming the first chess academy in Bahrain to launch its own digital platform — the ACA Connect App — along with a brand-new official website. The launch ceremony took place at the academy’s Zinj branch in the presence of several distinguished guests, students, and parents.

The event was graced by Mr. Anmar Ahmadi, President of the Bahrain Chess Federation, and Mr. P.V. Radhakrishna Pillai, President of Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam, as the Chief Guest and Guest of Honour, respectively.
Also attending the event were Mr. Lohidas Palsseri, COO of Almoayyed Contracting Group; Mr. Pradeep Puravankara, Executive Editor of News of Bahrain / 4PM News; Mr. Junith, Director of Sports Hub; and Ms. Fatema Redha, Treasurer of the Bahrain Chess Federation. Their presence added great value to the celebration and reflected the growing unity within Bahrain’s chess and sporting community.

The newly launched ACA Connect App offers an all-in-one digital solution for students, parents, and coaches — enabling access to lessons, tournament updates, progress tracking, and communication through a single platform.
Mr. Arjun Kakkadath, Director of Arjun’s Chess Academy, expressed his happiness and gratitude on achieving this milestone. He thanked Diode Info Solutions, the developers of the app and website, for their outstanding work and commitment since the project began in January 2025.

The launch of ACA Connect marks a new digital era for chess learning in Bahrain — combining technology, education, and passion to nurture the next generation of chess talents.🌟
