Why Bathinda families choose online coaching
Bathinda is a key city of Punjab's Malwa belt — an agricultural and energy-region centre with a large cantonment, thermal-power economy, and a growing set of CBSE and state-board schools serving southern Punjab. Families here often look beyond the city for specialised extracurriculars.
Rated coaches and deep junior peer groups are scarce locally compared with Chandigarh or Delhi. Online live coaching closes that gap without a weekend road trip north for every serious lesson.
What's included
- ✓ FIDE-rated coaches, same coach every week
- ✓ Small batches (max 6) or one-to-one, matched after a free demo
- ✓ A weekly plan from beginner to tournament level
- ✓ Weekly WhatsApp progress report for parents
- ✓ From ₹375 per class · refund on unused classes
How online chess classes work in Bathinda
- Step 1
Book a free 30-minute demo. A FIDE-rated coach checks your child's level and answers your questions — no payment to start.
- Step 2
Your child is matched to a small batch (max six) by age and level, or a one-to-one slot, at a fixed weekly time that fits school.
- Step 3
The same coach teaches every week on a live video board, sets practice, and sends you a weekly progress report on WhatsApp.
What chess training builds
Beyond the moves — the habits parents notice at home and school.
Focus that carries over
A full game is a 30–60 minute concentration workout. Coaches build it up gradually — most parents notice it first at homework time.
Confidence from real play
Wins are earned against real opponents, and losses get reviewed calmly with the coach — both build a child who isn't afraid to think.
Progress you can actually see
Every week your coach sends a WhatsApp report: what was taught, what improved, what to practise next.

Chess for kids in Bathinda
Malwa school calendars already mix board prep with limited local options for niche subjects. Chess as a weekly online commitment stays realistic for households whose nearest specialist options sit hours away.
Southern Punjab families often compare specialist options against a long run toward Chandigarh or Delhi — live online chess is the rare extracurricular where Bathinda homes get the same coach pool as metro students without that road tax every week.
Online vs offline chess classes in Bathinda
If a trusted local teacher is nearby and your child prefers a classroom, offline can be enough for early exposure. Online is the clearer path when specialist rated coaching is thin on the ground in Malwa, or when weekends are already spent on travel for other needs.

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 Bathinda: common questions
What is the cost of online chess classes for kids in Bathinda?
From Rs 375 per class for ages 5–15. Choose 1:1 or a batch of maximum six with a FIDE-rated coach who stays with your child. Free 30-minute demo, refund on unused classes, weekly WhatsApp parent update. Rated 5.0 on Google (21 reviews) for the overall ChessWize programme.
Is ChessWize available offline in Bathinda cantonment or city?
No offline centre. Coaching is live online only, everywhere in India including Bathinda. That is intentional: it is how we reach FIDE-rated coaches without needing a local branch. A quiet table, a device, and stable internet are the only requirements for the weekly class.
Will my child fall behind without strong local chess peers?
Small live batches still give peers on the screen, and 1:1 is available if focus is better alone. The coach reviews games and plans lessons weekly rather than relying on a crowded local club. Peer density matters less than consistent feedback for most school-age beginners.
Which language is used for Bathinda students?
Coaches teach in English and Hindi. Many Malwa households mix both at home, so explanations stay simple and parent-friendly instead of formal textbook English. You can confirm language preference during the free demo so the first full package starts cleanly for your child.
