America’s best Online Chess Academy for Beginner and Advanced Players

Most children are ready to start learning chess between the ages of 4 and 6. At this age, they can follow simple rules, recognize patterns, and enjoy structured activities. Our beginner batches are designed to make the early learning experience fun and confidence-building, without any pressure to perform competitively.

Yes. We offer dedicated batches for families across every major U.S. time zone. Whether you’re on the East Coast, West Coast, or anywhere in between, you can choose class timings that fit smoothly into your child’s existing school and family routine.

Each batch has a maximum of five children. This small-group format helps us focus on every child individually, understand their learning style, and give them the right amount of attention. It also makes shy or introverted kids feel more comfortable participating in the sessions.

Absolutely. Our coaches are not only certified and rated players but also trained to teach young children in a friendly, patient, and structured way. The goal is to help kids build confidence, stay engaged, and develop critical thinking — not overwhelm them with advanced theory in the beginning.

Classes are conducted live on Zoom or Google Meet using an interactive digital chessboard. Children can join easily using a laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection. They don’t need any special software or equipment — and while a physical chessboard can be helpful for practice, it’s not required to begin.

We monitor each child’s improvement through regular assessments, in-class observation, and level-based goals. Parents receive updates on strengths, areas of growth, and overall progress, so you always know how your child is developing in terms of thinking skills, confidence, focus, and chess ability.

Yes, but in a balanced way. For younger or beginner-level kids, the focus is on enjoying the game, improving concentration, and developing problem-solving skills. As children grow more confident and skilled, we gradually introduce them to practice games and weekly online tournaments for structured growth. Parents seeking competitive preparation at advanced levels can also discuss tailor-made training paths with us.

Your child’s safety is our top priority. All classes are supervised, coaches are verified, and communication happens only during the live session. We do not use open chat rooms or public platforms. Parents can also access class recordings if needed, ensuring complete transparency.

We understand that family schedules can be unpredictable. If your child misses a class, we offer a make-up session depending on availability. We also provide session recordings so they can revise the concepts at their own pace without falling behind.

Yes. Every child can attend a free trial class before joining. This allows you to understand our teaching style and helps your child feel comfortable with the coach. There is no payment or commitment required for the trial.
