NI & SNA Varad Deo
Varad leads RCC’s player development with a rare blend of competitive insight, pedagogy, and technology. He topped the December 2023 National Instructor batch in India—finishing ahead of several titled players—and is a Senior National Arbiter ranked third in Maharashtra. Over 8 years of coaching, Varad has trained numerous state and national performers and helped several students earn their first international (FIDE) ratings.

Varad has a degree in psychology—deepening his work on mindset, focus, and resilience at the board. Beyond chess, he’s a passionate travel photographer and an avid reader.
FA Pushkar Jadhav
Pushkar anchors RCC’s tournament operations and coaching excellence. Among the youngest to achieve the FIDE Arbiter title, he is Maharashtra’s top-ranked FA and has officiated and managed top-tier events with hallmark smoothness and fairness. With nearly a decade of coaching, Pushkar has guided multiple state and national level players and helped many attain their international (FIDE) ratings.
A chemical engineer by education, he brings precision, structure, and reliability to everything—from event logistics and regulations to training roadmaps. He also loves to travel, carrying RCC’s spirit to new arenas and communities.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to make high-quality chess coaching in Nashik accessible to every family, with a clear pathway from first moves to competitive play. We stand out for our curriculum design, consistent feedback loops, and mentorship that grows character as well as rating strength. The vision is a citywide culture where chess is a lifelong skill—learned deeply, shared generously, and played with joy. RCC exists to raise standards while keeping the game welcoming.
Our Impact
Beyond tactics and openings, chess at RCC builds focus, discipline, patience, and teamwork—skills that transfer to school, work, and life. Students learn to plan, evaluate trade-offs, and make decisions under time pressure. Parents notice better attention spans, calmer problem-solving, and healthier screen habits. Our club strengthens the local ecosystem by connecting players, coaches, and schools.
Social Initiatives
We’re committed to inclusion and social good: free or subsidized coaching for underprivileged schools, Checkmate Cancer-style awareness drives, and chess literacy programs for classrooms and communities. Parent interaction sessions demystify events, fair-play policies, and progress tracking. We actively advocate the educational benefits of chess for every child in Nashik. When the game reaches more homes, the whole city wins.
