Chess for kids in the UAE

The UAE has an active junior chess scene centred on Dubai, which hosts the long-running Dubai Open, one of Asia’s biggest annual tournaments. Many schools across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah run chess as a co-curricular activity, so a child here can put structured coaching to use in real local events.

The UAE is home to one of the world’s largest Indian communities, so ChessWize coaches share the same language, exam-season rhythm and expectations many families here already know.

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!

Online chess classes in the UAE: common questions

Can a coach in India teach my child at a UAE-friendly time?

Yes. You choose the weekly time when you book the free demo, and the same coach keeps it. You can move it when exams or school holidays change the week.

How do I pay from the UAE, and is it more expensive?

It is the same Indian-rupee list used everywhere, from ₹2,500 for 8 classes. If you pay from the UAE, checkout shows and charges the currency of the country you pay from. The figures on this page are estimates as of 2026-09-29.

Do you offer a free trial for families in the UAE?

Yes. Every family starts with a complimentary 30-minute demo and level check, with no payment details required. You confirm the coach and slot fit your child before enrolling.

Are the classes live, or recorded videos?

Fully live over video. The coach watches your child play in real time, corrects mistakes as they happen and adjusts each session. It is not a library of recorded lessons.

My child studies in a UAE school with a different term calendar. Can classes fit around it?

Yes. Slots are weekly and fixed to your timetable, and you can reschedule around exams or school holidays. The same coach stays with your child rather than rotating week to week.

What safeguards are used for children joining from the UAE?

Classes are one-to-one or in small groups (six or fewer) with a named, vetted coach. There is no open chat with strangers. Parents can sit in, and you get a weekly progress note.
