We had been searching for a chess class online for our sons. Suddenly on instagram , we saw the ad for chesswize and connected with the them. The demo was really good and we started the classes for our almost 4.7 year old son. Ankit Rajoriya Sir engaged him really well , he very knowlegeble in his field. His classes are well structured and he teaches the concepts in simple and engaging manner. My son has started loving chess and has started applying the strategies. The environment of the class is really positive where kids feel safe asking questions and their queries are answered well. We truly appreciate his professionalism, dedication, and commitment towards his students. We highly recommend Chesswize and Ankit Rajoriya Sir to any parent looking for chess classes for their kids.

Coach Ankit has been amazing for my 8-year-old. He’s super friendly and explains chess rules in a way kids actually get. My son looks forward to every Chesswize class now. He motivates him to do better without any pressure, and I’ve seen fast improvement in both his game and confidence. Highly recommend Ankit for young beginners!

Hi, just wanted to share a feedback about the ongoing chess classes My daughter harshitha really enjoyed learning chess with Ankit Rajoriya. His classes are highly engaging and interactive, making it easy to stay focused throughout the session. He explains concepts clearly, patiently answers questions, and provides practical strategies that help improve both understanding and gameplay. I have noticed a steady improvement in her chess skills and confidence since joining his classes. I would highly recommend Ankit as a chess coach to anyone looking to learn and grow in chess. Really appreciate the effort and happy with her progress 👍

The Journey

From distracted to tournament-ready.

Three honest stages every ChessWize family moves through. No shortcuts, no over-promising — just the path that's worked for 1000+ kids.

1
Bored. Distracted. Glued to a screen.

ChessWize Tracking Platform

You don't need to know chess. We'll show the work.

A private dashboard shows what your child learned, what improved, and what to practise next — no chess knowledge needed.

  • Every attempt tracked

    The platform logs each puzzle and position your child attempts — no session goes unrecorded.

  • Time taken on each problem

    See exactly how long your child spends thinking — a clear window into focus and decision speed.

  • Accuracy & performance analytics

    Accuracy scores and performance trends plotted week-on-week, so improvement is measurable, not guessed.

  • Minute-level teacher monitoring

    Coaches monitor progress minute-by-minute during live sessions and act on it in real time.

Online vs In-Person

"But is online really as good as in-person?"

Here's how the two compare on the things parents ask us about most.

Commute time
Zero — learn from homeChessWize
20–60 min round-trip · traffic on bad daysIn-person

One thing in-person does win on: physical board feel. We solve it by recommending a real board at home and using a live digital board that mirrors moves both ways.

Learning Roadmap

Four stages to tournament-ready.

01

Stage 1How chess actually works

From board setup to a complete game without forgetting rules.

Key Focus Areas

Board setup & piece movement
Spotting checkmate in 1–2 moves
Reading the whole board
First opening habits
02

Stage 2Spotting the winning move

Pattern recognition that makes kids sit forward — most parents see school focus jump here.

Key Focus Areas

Pins, skewers & forks (with names that stick)
Setting traps your opponent walks into
Calculating 2–3 moves ahead
Choosing the best move from several good ones
03

Stage 3Planning, not just reacting

From move-by-move play to forming plans — thinking ahead that carries into school work.

Key Focus Areas

Reading pawn structures
Finding strong squares for pieces
Trading wisely (not just quickly)
Preventing the opponent's plan before it starts
04

Stage 4Performing under pressure

Composure under the clock, a reliable opening repertoire, and bouncing back after a loss.

Key Focus Areas

A 5-opening repertoire your child knows cold
Endgame technique that converts wins
Managing the clock in real games
Bouncing back after a loss

DISTRICT — 2ND PLACE

Rachit Seksaria

Came to us plateaued and prepping for a district event. The coach analysed his games to pinpoint weak links, then drilled them. Within 2 months he finished 2nd (on tiebreaks) in the district tournament.

His mother was understandably worried — would a 3-year-old learn online? She agreed to a 2-month trial. That was 2½ years ago. Gahan is still with us, has progressed from absolute beginner to a FIDE-rated player, and is the academy's youngest tournament-rated student.

Puzzle accuracy 25% → 61%

Honestly, I was skeptical about online chess coaching.

"Aadvik hated sitting still for anything, and I thought a Zoom class would last two weeks max. It's been six months. Last Sunday his class teacher called just to ask what changed — his attention in maths has jumped. He now does his puzzles before I'm up. Coach Arjun has the patience I don't."

Mother of Aadvik (9) · Lucknow · March 2026
Stopped hanging pieces by month two

She used to cry after every loss. Not anymore.

"Anika was playing 'casually' on chess.com and hanging pieces every game. First month the coach just drilled Checks-Captures-Threats. The dashboard is what sold me though. I don't know chess, but I can see exactly what she covered each week. Her play sharpened on its own by week eight."

Analyses her own games now

The resilience piece was unexpected — and the real win.

"We signed up for chess. What Ishita got was emotional self-regulation. Month one was all about learning to lose without falling apart. By month three she was analysing her own games after tournaments, pointing out where she'd blundered, calmly. Her results followed. But honestly, the composure is what I'll remember."
