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.

We are very happy with the coaching at Chesswize, especially with our son’s teacher, Ankit Rajoriya. Ankit sir is a wonderful coach especially for younger kids.He knows the game deeply but also teaches with patience, encouragement, and real passion. He explains ideas in a clear and easy way, so children can understand and use them in their games. His classes are well-planned, fun, and motivating. Since our son started learning with Ankit sir, we have seen big improvements in his chess skills, thinking ability, focus, and confidence. He creates a friendly environment where kids feel comfortable asking questions and are inspired to keep getting better. We truly value his dedication and care for each student. We strongly recommend Chesswize and Ankit Rajoriya sir to any parent who wants quality chess coaching for their child.

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!

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.

Where we start

Bored. Distracted. Glued to a screen.

Apps reward speed. YouTube can't see your child. Most parents reach us exactly here.

2
20 mins a session, with a coach who watches every move.

What we do

20 mins a session, with a coach who watches every move.

A FIDE-rated coach fixes gaps live — and sends you a weekly WhatsApp note you can actually read.

3
Tournament-ready. School teacher noticing. Calmer at home.

Where you end up

Tournament-ready. School teacher noticing. Calmer at home.

Parents tell us the trophy is the second-best part. The focus — in chess and at school — is the first.

Four simple steps

From first enquiry to the right class.

No long admissions process and no guessing which programme fits. Most families complete these steps within a week.

01

Share the basics

Tell us your child’s age and current level. We reach out Replies in <10 min.

04

Report after each class

How We're Different

Most chess classes teach moves. We teach how to think.

Structured coaching for ages 5–15 — the kind of focus that shows up in school marks too.

Built around how children actually learn.

We diagnose how your child thinks — calculation, focus, decisions — then build a 24-session plan around the gaps.

Batches of six, same coach, weekly reports in plain English — you don't need to know chess to follow the progress.

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.

Included with every program
ChessWize parent dashboard — progress chart, coach notes, and tactical themes

Online vs in-person

Is online really as good as in-person?

It can be. The useful comparison is whether the class is live, personal, and accountable, not simply whether the coach is in the same room.

Online works especially well when

Travel is difficult, specialist coaching matters, or parents want progress visibility after every class.

In-person may suit your child when

Physical-board play, a nearby chess-club community, or face-to-face group energy is the priority.

  • Time and travel

    ChessWize online
    No commute. Join from a quiet room at home.
    Typical in-person
    Travel is required; time varies by location and traffic.
  • Choice of coach

    ChessWize online
    Choose from FIDE-rated coaches across India.
    Typical in-person
    Usually limited to coaches within practical driving distance.
  • Parent visibility

    ChessWize online
    Observe live and receive an after-class WhatsApp report.
    Typical in-person
    Observation and progress updates depend on the academy.
  • Schedule flexibility

    ChessWize online
    Exam pauses and same-week rescheduling are available.
    Typical in-person
    Make-up and pause policies vary by academy.
  • Coach continuity

    ChessWize online
    Your matched coach stays with your child.
    Typical in-person
    Continuity depends on the academy and timetable.

In-person policies vary by academy. The fairest test is practical: let your child attend the complimentary live class, then judge coach interaction, comfort, and attention for yourself.

Learning roadmap

Four stages, one clear path to better chess.

Students move forward when the coach sees consistent understanding, not because a fixed calendar says it is time.

  1. Stage 1

    How chess works

    Foundation

    Play a complete game confidently without forgetting the rules or rushing moves.

    • Piece movement
    • Checkmate patterns
    • Board vision
    • Opening habits
  2. Stage 2

    Spot the winning move

    Sharp tactics

    Build pattern recognition and learn to compare candidate moves before choosing one.

    • Pins and forks
    • Simple combinations
    • Calculate ahead
    • Candidate moves
  3. Stage 3

    Plan, do not just react

    Long-term thinking

    Turn move-by-move play into purposeful plans that improve patience and decision-making.

    • Pawn structures
    • Strong squares
    • Smart trades
    • Prevent threats
  4. Stage 4

    Perform under pressure

    Tournament-ready

    Develop reliable preparation, clock discipline, and the ability to recover after a loss.

    • Opening repertoire
    • Endgame technique
    • Clock management
    • Game review

Your child does not need to fit a preset label.

The coach uses the demo to find the strongest starting point across these four stages.

Meet your coaches

The same coach, every session.

We match your child after the demo and keep that relationship consistent—no rotating tutor pool.

Students we are proud of.

Rachit Seksaria
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.

Gahan C
FIDE-RATED AT AGE 6

Gahan C

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.
