What a ChessWize session looks like

Tarun's curriculum sets the progression path. Hrdyansh's coaching pattern turns that plan into guided practice, game analysis, and a parent-visible next step in each live session. Classes run 30 to 60 minutes depending on the class type; the example below is a 45-minute class.

  1. 13 min

    Recap last week's homework

    The coach checks last week's practice and clears up confusion from the assignment.

  2. 210 min

    Concept of the day

    The lesson follows ChessWize's structured curriculum and adapts to the student's current rating band.

  3. 310 min

    Tactical drill

    The student solves guided positions on Lichess study or Chess.com classroom with coach prompts.

  4. 415 min

    Live game vs the coach

    The coach plays at the student's level to expose decision-making habits in real positions.

  5. 55 min

    Game review + key moments

    The coach reviews the most important moves instead of overwhelming the child with every mistake.

  6. 62 min

    Homework + WhatsApp summary

    The student leaves with a clear task, and parents receive a concise WhatsApp progress note.

What's included in every programme

Every plan rests on live coaching, a structured curriculum, and parent visibility. The format changes; that core stays the same.

  • Same coach every session — no rotation
  • Live 1:1 or small-group coaching on Lichess study / Chess.com classroom
  • Weekly WhatsApp parent report from the coach
  • 4-phase progression curriculum: Foundation → Intermediate → Advanced → Mastery
  • AICF tournament-prep on demand
  • Full refund within 48 hours (monthly plans)
  • Background-verified experienced coach

ChessWize programmes vs alternatives

Most parents weigh free content, local groups, private tutors, and a structured online academy. The trade-off comes down to diagnosis, curriculum, and parent visibility.

FAQ

Everything parents ask before enrolling, answered clearly and honestly.

What does each session include?

A typical coaching session includes homework recap, a focused lesson-plan concept, tactical drills, live play, game review, and a short homework assignment. In 1:1 sessions, coaches use Lichess study or Chess.com classroom and send a WhatsApp summary to parents after the class.

How are coaches assigned to my child?

The complimentary 30-min demo helps ChessWize assess your child's current level, learning style, and goals. The assigned coach then stays with the child through the programme. Parents never face a weekly rotation of coaches.

Can my child switch programmes (e.g., group → 1-on-1)?

Yes. Children can move between programmes as they grow. Coaches recommend when to shift levels or formats. A child can begin in a small group and move to 1:1 when tournament preparation or faster diagnosis matters.

What if my child misses a session?

Cancel with at least 4 hours of notice for a free make-up session. Sessions missed without notice count as delivered and are not refundable. Contact the coach on WhatsApp to arrange a make-up.

How do I know my child is making progress?

Parents receive a weekly WhatsApp report from the coach covering what was taught, what improved, and what to practise next. For longer-term growth, ChessWize uses a four-phase curriculum from Foundation through Mastery so progress can be discussed against a clear learning path.

What happens after I request the demo?

We confirm a demo day and time with you on WhatsApp. Demos run any day, 8 AM to 10 PM IST. Your child plays a free 30-minute online demo with a coach on Google Meet. A laptop, tablet or desktop with Wi-Fi works best, and no physical chessboard is needed. The coach shares your child's level and the right batch. A phone call is available if you ask for one. It is never a required first step.

Can my child be enrolled in tournaments alongside coaching?

Yes. ChessWize coaches support AICF and tournament preparation on demand, especially in individual and advanced tracks. The coaching work can include opening repertoire, time management, tactical sharpening, and post-game review.

Is there a minimum commitment?

The page lists 24, 48 and 96-session packages, and new families usually start with the ₹2,500 starter pack (8 classes) after the complimentary demo. Monthly plans: full refund within 48 hours of enrolling, then a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended before the third session. After the third session, no refund for the current billing period; cancel to stop future charges. Term packages (3 or 6 months): pro-rated refund minus sessions attended within 7 days of enrolling. After 7 days, no refund; remaining sessions can be completed within the term.

How does the refund policy work?

Monthly plans: full refund within 48 hours of enrolling, then a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended before the third session. After the third session, no refund for the current billing period; cancel to stop future charges. Term packages (3 or 6 months): pro-rated refund minus sessions attended within 7 days of enrolling. After 7 days, no refund; remaining sessions can be completed within the term. Request by email or WhatsApp. Refunds return to the original payment method within 7-10 business days.

Are there discounts for siblings or annual prepayment?

Yes. Siblings get a 10% discount on the second child and 15% on the third, and annual prepayment unlocks 2 free months — mention either at booking. The page also lists package discounts (10% off 24 sessions, 15% off 48, 20% off 96), and the two-on-one format is designed for siblings or friends learning together.
