What this Guwahati class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Guwahati. A named coach teaches on a video call and shared digital board; this is not an in-person branch.
ChessWize is online only and has no local centre in Guwahati.
Who the format fits
It fits beginners through rated players whose family can protect a recurring IST time agreed after the level check, wants a group capped at six or a one-to-one format, and values one regular coach. It does not fit a family that needs a walk-in classroom in Guwahati.
A fixed weekly chess coach for your Guwahati child
If you live anywhere between Beltola, Dispur, and the GS Road corridor, you already know how unpredictable an evening drive across the city can be. Add monsoon rain and riverside traffic near the Brahmaputra, and a fixed weekly class across town becomes a gamble. ChessWize runs live online chess classes for kids ages 5-15 in English or Hindi, so your child gets the same coach every week from your own home, whatever the weather is doing outside.
Your child is taught by FIDE-rated coaches such as Hrdyansh Pandey (FIDE rating 1850), Tarun Gupta (1920), and Aryan Pal (1780). Batches are strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students, or your child can take the 1:1 Analyst Protocol for private attention. Every child follows a real curriculum ladder from beginner through intermediate and advanced to tournament prep, with roadmaps matched to age groups from 5-8 up to 13-15.
You will always know what happened in class. One parent told us: "We tried two other academies before ChessWize. The difference is the weekly progress report - I can actually see what's working." That report arrives on WhatsApp every week, and it is part of our guarantee: weekly WhatsApp report for every student. We also promise the same coach every session, no rotation, so openings and tactics build in sequence instead of restarting with a stranger.
Start with a complimentary 30-min demo and level check before you commit, with no payment. Each of the 8 classes costs just Rs 313 when you grab the Rs 2,500 starter pack. Regular plans after that run from Rs 375 to Rs 1,000 per class depending on the plan. If you stop, we offer a 100% refund on unused sessions. Families across the North-East already trust us: over 1,000 students coached, 1,500 parents served, and an average of 4 months from starting to a child's first tournament.
Class times for Guwahati
The page uses Indian Standard Time (Asia/Kolkata). The recurring class time is agreed with the family after the level check.
All class times are shown in India Standard Time (IST), which is the local time for Guwahati, so there is no daylight saving adjustment to track. Coach availability windows run across the week, including 9:30 AM-1:30 PM IST, 11:30 AM-3:30 PM IST, 12:30-5:30 PM IST, 2:30-5:30 PM IST, and evening slots of 4:30-9:30 PM IST and 5:30-8:30 PM IST. That means after-school and early-evening classes fit around school hours and homework, and weekend morning windows are open too.
| Window | Family time | Coach time |
|---|---|---|
| Family-agreed weekly class | Recurring time agreed after the level check (IST) | The same IST appointment for the family and coach |
What Guwahati parents pay
The published list runs from ₹313 to ₹1,000 per live class. Starter pack ₹2,500 for 8 classes (₹313/session) is the entry pack.
Prices are the INR list recorded in the pricing source as of 2026-09-04; unused sessions follow the published refund guarantee.

What the curriculum covers
Class length
Class length: see the programme page. The shared programme data does not publish one duration for every track, so this page does not manufacture one.
Batch formats in the programme data
12-week synchronized batches with strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students
Private option: 1:1 Analyst Protocol. Private 1:1 live analysis sessions + engine homework + written coach reviews
Beginner → intermediate → advanced
Beginner
- Learn the board and legal moves. The child practises setup, movement, captures, check, checkmate, castling, promotion, and en passant through playable examples. The coach checks understanding by changing the position.
- Finish a complete game. Once the rules are stable, the child plays guided games. The coach helps with a simple thinking routine but leaves enough space for the student to make and correct decisions.
- Use opening principles. Development, centre control, and king safety give the first moves a purpose. The child learns principles that work across many openings before studying a named repertoire.
- Find basic tactics and endings. Forks, pins, simple mates, and basic king-and-pawn endings turn rules into practical skill. Reviews stay focused on mistakes the beginner is ready to understand.
Intermediate
- Stabilise tactical vision. Pins, forks, skewers, discoveries, and removal of the defender are practised in mixed positions. The child must identify why a tactic works and what would stop it.
- Choose candidate moves. Instead of calculating the first attractive move, the student lists sensible choices. Checks, captures, threats, and improving moves become part of a deliberate search.
- Read positional clues. Open files, weak squares, pawn breaks, and poorly placed pieces help the child form a plan. Strategy stays connected to concrete moves rather than abstract rules.
- Link openings to endings. A compact repertoire produces familiar middlegames, while essential king-and-pawn and rook endings improve confidence when pieces come off the board.
Advanced
- Audit the player's game. Recent tournament and online games are grouped by error type. The coach establishes priorities and distinguishes one-off mistakes from patterns that need a training block.
- Deepen calculation. Exercises include candidate selection, comparison of resulting positions, defensive resources, and stopping points. Accuracy and evaluation matter more than the number of moves calculated.
- Refine repertoire and strategy. Opening files are tied to model positions and likely opponents. Middlegame work covers pawn structures, exchanges, initiative, and transitions rather than memorisation alone.
- Convert training into events. Pre-event preparation, clock plans, rest, and post-event review connect weekly lessons to competitive play. The plan changes as new game evidence appears.
How the first month starts
The level check establishes the starting point. Early lessons then use the first roadmap goal for that level: beginners learn the board and legal moves, intermediate players stabilise tactical vision, and advanced players audit recent games. The coach moves from that evidence instead of assigning a city-wide syllabus.
Practice and parent reporting
A beginner benefits from repetition with variation. Set up a king-in-check position in several ways, ask for all legal responses, or practise one mating pattern from both sides of the board. This confirms that the child understands the idea rather than remembers one diagram.
For visibility at home, the published commitment is Weekly WhatsApp report for every student, giving the family a regular account of what to practise next.
Recorded programme results
The first-party trust record, last changed 2026-07-13, lists 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents. It also records 4 district finishers in a cohort of 12, plus an average of 4 months to a first tournament. These are past records, not a promised result for one child.
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.
Event: District Tournament — 2nd place (tiebreaks)
Record date: 2 months in programme
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.
Event: FIDE-rated tournament (youngest in academy)
Record date: 2.5+ years in programme
ACTIVE PROGRAMME STUDENT
Jiyansh
Active student in our structured programme — works through the same Foundation → Tactical → Tournament pathway every ChessWize student does. Photos from his recent classroom and practice sessions.
Event: Cohort tournament practice
Record date: In programme
How child safety works
Every coach clears a multi-step hiring process, and background verification — police clearance plus a reference check — is completed before they teach a child. Classes are live lessons rather than recorded lesson libraries, parents may sit in on any session, and a parent or guardian should remain at home during classes for children under eight. Read the complete, observable delivery policy on the child safety page.
What to set up at home
Any laptop, desktop, or tablet with a stable internet connection and a webcam. Classes run on Zoom plus our own student platform for puzzles, homework, and progress tracking. Nothing to install — it all runs in the browser.
What happens in the demo
- 1 · Meet
A FIDE-rated coach meets the child for the complimentary 30-min level check before you commit.
- 2 · Check
The child plays and solves positions so the coach can identify the current level.
- 3 · Match
The family hears which skill-matched batch or one-to-one format fits the assessment.
- 4 · Decide
No payment is taken before the demo. Paid classes begin only after enrolment and an agreed recurring time.
The four published commitments
These lines come directly from the shared trust record and are shown without rewriting their terms.
- Same coach every session — no rotation
- 100% refund on unused sessions
- Complimentary 30-min level check before you commit
- Weekly WhatsApp report for every student
Eleven checks to make before enrolling
Each answer below is tied to the section that carries its proof, so a parent can verify the detail rather than rely on a slogan.
-
Check 1
Who teaches my child, and are they rated?
Your child is taught by FIDE-rated coaches. Hrdyansh Pandey holds a FIDE rating of 1850 (FIDE ID IN-25600184), Tarun Gupta is rated 1920, and Aryan Pal is rated 1780. Every coach teaches live, follows the same weekly curriculum ladder, and stays with your child, so you always know exactly who is on the other side of the board.
Check the proof → -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Group batches are strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students, so your child is never lost in a crowd and never stuck with children far above or below their level. The 12-week synchronized batches build intense peer play, group calculation, and team-based tactics. If you want the coach entirely to yourself, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol gives private sessions.
Check the proof → -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes. There is a real ladder from beginner to rated play: beginner levels learn the board, legal moves, and a first complete game; intermediate levels stabilise tactical vision and link openings to endings; advanced levels deepen calculation and convert training into events; and tournament prep rehearses real event conditions. Age-specific roadmaps cover ages 5-8, 9-12, and 13-15.
Check the proof → -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
You receive a weekly WhatsApp report for every student, every week, so you can see exactly what your child covered and how they are progressing without knowing chess yourself. The complimentary 30-min level check before you commit also establishes an honest baseline, and later rating-improvement work tracks the trend through collected games and retests.
Check the proof → -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Classes are live online sessions your child attends from home, in English or Hindi, with a FIDE-rated coach and at most six children in a batch. Because sessions run on a fixed schedule with the same coach every week, you always know who is teaching and when. The free demo lets you sit in on the actual format before you pay anything.
Check the proof → -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. ChessWize offers a complimentary 30-min demo, and it doubles as a level check before you commit, with no payment required. Your child meets the actual coach, plays on the shared board, and you see the batch format and reporting style first. Only after that do you decide on the starter pack.
Check the proof → -
Check 7
What if we stop?
If you stop, ChessWize gives a 100% refund on unused sessions. You only ever pay for the classes your child has actually taken. Combined with the free 30-minute demo and level check before you commit, the financial risk of starting is small, and you can walk away from any remaining sessions with money back.
Check the proof → -
Check 8
Will the timings fit our week?
Coach availability windows span mornings through evenings in IST, including 9:30 AM-1:30 PM, 12:30-5:30 PM, 4:30-9:30 PM, and 5:30-8:30 PM IST. Since Guwahati runs on IST with no daylight saving shift, what you see is the exact local time. After-school and early-evening slots fit around school, and weekend mornings stay open.
Check the proof → -
Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
For Rs 2,500, you get 8 classes in the starter pack , just Rs 313 each. After the starter pack, regular plans run from Rs 375 to Rs 1,000 per class depending on the plan you choose. Unused sessions are refundable at 100%, and the free 30-minute demo and level check costs nothing, so you know the full picture before paying.
Check the proof → -
Check 10
Is there a path to tournaments?
Yes. The advanced level converts training into events, and a dedicated tournament-prep roadmap covers understanding the event, repairing the game plan, rehearsing tournament conditions, and reviewing the evidence afterwards. On average, children reach their first tournament in about 4 months, and cohort students have recorded 4 district finisher wins out of 12 finishers.
Check the proof → -
Check 11
What do I have to do at home?
Very little. A short daily board moment works for young children: ask them to set up the pieces or solve two known positions, and stop while they are still curious. Casual family games help when adults resist fixing every move. Older children bring one saved game and one honest question to class; the coach sets everything else.

★★★★★
Honestly, I was skeptical about online chess coaching.
“Aadvik hated sitting still for anything, and I thought a Zoom class would last two weeks max. It's been six months. Last Sunday his class teacher called just to ask what changed — his attention in maths has jumped. He now does his puzzles before I'm up. Coach Arjun has the patience I don't.”

She used to cry after every loss. Not anymore.
“Anika was playing 'casually' on chess.com and hanging pieces every game. First month the coach just drilled Checks-Captures-Threats. The dashboard is what sold me though. I don't know chess, but I can see exactly what she covered each week. Her play sharpened on its own by week eight.”

The resilience piece was unexpected — and the real win.
“We signed up for chess. What Ishita got was emotional self-regulation. Month one was all about learning to lose without falling apart. By month three she was analysing her own games after tournaments, pointing out where she'd blundered, calmly. Her results followed. But honestly, the composure is what I'll remember.”

Read on Google →Why the online format fits Guwahati
Guwahati is the largest city in North-East India and the gateway to the region, sitting on the banks of the Brahmaputra River and home to the historic Kamakhya Temple on Nilachal Hill.
Guwahati's geography — hemmed in by hills and the river, with growth spreading into areas like Beltola, Dispur, and the Guwahati-Shillong road corridor — means travel times can vary sharply by neighbourhood. Live online coaching gives every Guwahati family the same reliable access to a coach, independent of which part of the city they're in.
Local chess context
As the education and administrative hub for the North-East, Guwahati's schools draw students from across Assam and neighbouring states, creating a genuinely mixed, ambitious academic environment. A dedicated weekly chess programme gives a child here a clear, trackable way to build a skill rather than pick it up only casually.
Kamakhya festival peaks and monsoon river-side traffic reshape evening movement across the city; a booked home class keeps chess off those choke points while the child still gets a fixed weekly coach.
Online and offline choices
A strong local batch near your apartment complex can work if distance is truly small. Online is usually better when school is toward Dispur or the GS Road side and home sits across hill or river belts, or when rainfall makes evening driving unreliable.
Programme claims are linked to the first-party source pages below; the city wording remains the existing city record.
Questions from parents in Guwahati
How much do online chess classes for kids cost in Guwahati?
From Rs 375 per class. Live coaching with a FIDE-rated coach — 1:1 or up to six kids — same coach each week so openings and tactics build in sequence. Unused classes refundable. Free 30-minute demo and level check with no payment. Weekly WhatsApp parent reports keep you informed after every session block.
Does ChessWize have an offline centre in Guwahati or Assam?
No. Coaching is live online only. Ages 5–15, English or Hindi. You can still use school chess clubs for over-the-board practice; ChessWize is the structured weekly coach without a Beltola-to-Dispur pickup. Same coach stays with your child, and the free demo confirms fit before you pay for a package.
Is internet quality enough for live classes from Guwahati homes?
Most urban homes manage live video fine on a normal broadband connection or a stable mobile hotspot. The free demo is the real test of audio and attention for your child in your actual room. Classes are live interaction with a coach on the board, not downloaded video packs you play offline alone.
What do other parents say about ChessWize?
The programme is rated 5.0 on Google from 21 reviews. That is overall programme feedback, not a Guwahati branch score, so use reviews as one signal rather than a local-centre claim. Then decide after the free demo with your child’s actual coach, batch size, and weekly report style in view.
Does ChessWize have a physical centre in Guwahati?
No. Coaching is live online only, for ages 5-15 in English or Hindi. Your child can still use a school chess club for over-the-board practice, while ChessWize provides the structured weekly coach without a cross-city pickup through Beltola, Dispur, or GS Road traffic. The same coach stays with your child every week.
Is the internet connection in Guwahati homes good enough for live classes?
Most urban homes manage live video fine on normal broadband or a stable mobile hotspot. The free 30-minute demo is the real test of audio quality and your child's attention in your actual room. Classes are live interaction with a coach on a shared board, not downloaded videos your child watches alone.
What feedback do other parents give about ChessWize?
Families across Guwahati have rated the programme a 5.0 on Google from 21 reviews. That is overall programme feedback rather than a Guwahati branch score, so treat it as one signal among several. The better test is the free demo with your child's actual coach, where you can see the batch size, teaching style, and weekly report format for yourself.
Can my child join tournaments after starting as a beginner?
Yes. The curriculum ladder runs from beginner through intermediate and advanced to tournament prep, and on average children reach their first tournament in about 4 months. Tournament prep rehearses real event conditions, repairs the game plan, and reviews the evidence afterwards, so your child walks in prepared rather than overwhelmed.
How quickly will I see progress in my child's play?
The weekly WhatsApp report shows what your child covered each week, so progress is visible from the start rather than a mystery. One parent shared that after six months her son's school teacher called to ask what had changed, because his focus carried into maths. The free level check gives you a baseline to measure against.
Which language are the classes taught in?
Classes run in English or Hindi, so you can pick whichever language your child thinks in most comfortably. Coaches adapt explanations to the child's age group, whether they are 5-8, 9-12, or 13-15. The free 30-minute demo is the simplest way to confirm the language and pace suit your child before you commit to a pack.
What ages and levels does the programme cover?
Children from ages 5 to 15 are welcome, with dedicated roadmaps for ages 5-8, 9-12, and 13-15. Levels run from beginner, where a child learns the board and finishes a first complete game, through intermediate and advanced, to tournament prep and rating improvement. Batches place children by working level, so nobody sits bored or lost.
Will the same coach teach my child every week?
Yes, and it is a formal guarantee: same coach every session, no rotation. This matters because openings, tactics, and endgame ideas build in sequence only when the coach knows what was covered last week. Your child also avoids the awkward restart of explaining their level to a new face every few sessions.
