Find the Right Chess Course for Your Child

What Makes Our Online Chess Courses Different?
The level changes what your child is taught. It does not change any of this.
FIDE-Certified Coaches
Every coach is FIDE-rated, background-verified, and trained to teach children effectively from their first class onward.
Structured Chess Curriculum
Each lesson follows a structured curriculum that builds skills, so your child knows what to work on next.
Weekly GM Masterclass
A live masterclass with a Grandmaster gives students practical insights and exposure to high-level chess thinking.
Tournaments every Sunday
Students can put their skills into practice through weekly online tournaments and selected state and national events.
Every Time Zone
Classes are available across time zones, making online chess training easier to fit into your week.
Parents can see everything
Access session recordings, assignments, assessments, and coach feedback to follow your child's chess progress.
Not a Video Your Child Watches
The biggest difference between effective online chess classes and passive learning is interaction. Your child gets a coach who watches how they think, responds in real time, and helps them improve.
Live, never a recording
A real coach teaches on a live chessboard, watches your child's decisions, and corrects mistakes as they happen.
Small enough to be spoken to
Classes stay small so coaches can interact with each child, ask questions, and understand how they approach the game.
Dedicated Chess Classroom
Students learn in a dedicated classroom built for focused chess training, not an open meeting room where distractions take over.
Assessed, and written down
Regular assessments, puzzles, assignments, and written reports help track what your child has learned and where they need more practice.

My child who was shy and wouldn't speak has started interacting in school and forming full sentences independently. Thanks to Sonam Ma'am for her patience.

She instils this amazing confidence. I don't think we have ever found a teacher as enthusiastic and motivating. My daughter talks about class all week.

Before Kingdom of Chess, Ishan sat quietly in every class. Ms Aparna makes kids believe they belong in every conversation. His teacher called to say the improvement was remarkable.
