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!

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 👍

Questions parents ask

What happens in the free demo?

Your child plays and solves a few positions with a FIDE-rated coach for about 30 minutes. The coach shares what level your child is at and which batch fits. There is no payment and no obligation.

What age is right to start?

We coach children aged 5 to 15. Younger kids start in the Foundation program with games and puzzles; older or experienced kids join the Tournament Track after the demo assessment.

How do online classes work?

Classes are live on a video call with an interactive chess board, in small batches of six students. Each class runs about an hour, with the same coach every week.

What does it cost?

Classes start from ₹375 per class, billed as session packs. Unused classes are refunded — if you stop, you only pay for the classes taken.

How do I track my child's progress?

Every parent gets a weekly progress report and access to a parent dashboard showing what was covered, puzzle accuracy, and what to practise next.
