What this Jaipur class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Jaipur. 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 Jaipur.
Who the format fits
It fits families with a beginner through a rated player who can keep a recurring IST time agreed after the level check, want a group capped at six or a one-to-one lesson, and want one regular coach. It does not fit a family that needs a walk-in classroom in Jaipur.
Structured chess coaching for Jaipur families, live online
If your evenings in Mansarovar, Vaishali Nagar or anywhere across Jaipur are already full of school runs and cross-town travel, chess should not add another trip. ChessWize teaches live online, so your child trains from home with a coach on the call. Fees start from ₹375 per class, or a starter pack of ₹2,500 for 8 classes, and every family begins with a complimentary 30-min demo before paying anything.
Your child keeps the same coach every session. That is a named guarantee: same coach every session - no rotation. Batches hold strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students, so the coach knows your child's game, or you can choose 1:1. The ladder runs from beginner through intermediate and advanced to tournament-prep, with age tracks for 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15, and coaching in English or Hindi.
You will not have to guess whether it is working. Every student gets a weekly WhatsApp report, so you can see what was covered and what comes next. One mother says in her video, 'She is taking more interest in playing chess'. A parent of a five-year-old says, 'In one month, my son has shown immense progress in the game of chess.' Families across India have trusted us with more than 1000 students, and our Google reviews stand at 5.0 from 21 reviews.
Jaipur players have a real calendar to aim at: the Rajasthan State Chess Association runs district and state events that school players enter each year. We use online weeks for openings, tactics and game analysis, then prepare your child for over-the-board conditions. On average, students reach their first tournament in about 4 months.
Chess in Jaipur: district records and junior venues

Recorded programme results
As of 2026-07-13, the trust record lists 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents, with 4 district finishers in a cohort of 12 and an average of 4 months to a first tournament. These are past records, not a promise for one child.
How classes run
Your child keeps the same coach in a supervised small group, and a parent can sit in on any lesson. Read the full policy on the child safety page.
At home you need a laptop or tablet with a webcam and stable internet. Classes run in the browser. Setup details are on the online chess classes page.
The first meeting is a free 30-minute level check. Paid classes start only after you enrol and agree a recurring time.
The four published commitments
- Same coach every session — no rotation
- Full refund within 48 hours of enrolling on a monthly plan
- Complimentary 30-min level check before you commit
- Weekly WhatsApp report for every student
Refund wording is on the refund policy.
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 experienced coaches: Hrdyansh Pandey, Tarun Gupta, and Aryan Pal. The same coach appears on every call, in English or Hindi, so your child is never handed to an unnamed substitute.
See coaches -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Group batches hold strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students, placed by working level so peer play stays genuine. If you want the coach's full attention, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol maps your child's game, targets the highest-value gap and tests the change in play. Either way, the coach knows each child by name.
See class size -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes. Beginners learn the board, legal moves and a complete game; intermediates stabilise tactical vision and link openings to endings; advanced students refine repertoire and convert training into events. Age tracks for 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15 sit alongside tournament-prep and rating-improvement tracks, each with a written roadmap.
See the curriculum -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
Every student receives a weekly WhatsApp report, so you see what was taught and what the next step is, even if you do not play chess yourself. Homework is matched to errors from the previous class, and rating-improvement students keep an error log so the trend is visible over weeks, not vibes.
See progress reports -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Classes are live online with a coach present on the call, from your home, with no unstaffed rooms or travel. You can sit nearby, especially for younger children, and the weekly WhatsApp report shows exactly what happened in class. Nothing about your child's training happens out of your sight.
Read safety policy -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. Every family starts with a complimentary 30-min demo, no payment to try. Before you commit to anything, your child also gets a complimentary 30-min level check, so placement into a batch of 4-6 or 1:1 is based on how your child actually plays, not a guess.
See the level check -
Check 7
What if we stop?
Jaipur monthly enrolment can be reversed within 48 hours of enrolling for a full refund, then a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended until the 3rd session, after which leaving keeps the current month billed yet future charges stop when you cancel. Term plans use a 7-day window from enrolling for a pro-rated refund, leftover classes can then be finished in the term, and the weekly WhatsApp report shows early whether the fit is right.
See refund terms -
Check 8
Will the timings fit our week?
Everything runs on IST with no daylight shifting to track. Coach windows span mornings to late evening, including 4:30-9:30 PM IST and 5:30-8:30 PM IST, so an after-school slot in Jaipur is realistic. Once fixed, the slot holds: same coach, same time, every week, without cross-town travel.
See class times -
Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
A single class costs ₹375. The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes. There are no hidden add-ons: the demo and level check are complimentary, and after 7 days on a term package remaining sessions can be completed within the term. You choose batch or 1:1 and know the cost before starting.
See fees -
Check 10
Is there a path to tournaments?
Yes. The Jaipur District Chess Association, affiliated with the Rajasthan Chess Association, listed Under 7 and Under 17 district championships on its 2026 calendar. Ask that association about later age-group play, and check the chosen event's requirements. On average, students reach a first tournament in about four months.
See results -
Check 11
What do I have to do at home?
Keep it light. For ages 5-8, five to ten focused minutes a day is enough; older children add one slow game a week and a short puzzle set. Save game links, note one confusing moment, and send it to the coach. You never need to teach chess yourself or supervise long sessions.

Written reviews from parents
Two parent reviews for this page, with a Jaipur-tagged record first when the source has one.
★★★★★
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.”

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.”

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!

Hi, just wanted to share a feedback about the ongoing chess classes My daughter harshitha really enjoyed learning chess with Ankit Rajoriya. His classes are highly engaging and interactive, making it easy to stay focused throughout the session. He explains concepts clearly, patiently answers questions, and provides practical strategies that help improve both understanding and gameplay. I have noticed a steady improvement in her chess skills and confidence since joining his classes. I would highly recommend Ankit as a chess coach to anyone looking to learn and grow in chess. Really appreciate the effort and happy with her progress 👍
Read on Google →Why the online format fits Jaipur
Jaipur is Rajasthan's capital and one of North India's fastest-growing urban education markets, drawing school-seeking families from across the state into its expanding suburbs.
Parents in areas such as Mansarovar or Vaishali Nagar often choose schools across town — online coaching means chess training is not limited to whichever academy happens to sit on your daily route.
Local chess context
The Rajasthan Chess Association runs district and state events that Jaipur school players enter each year, so structured practice between tournaments counts as much as signing up for the next round.
Jaipur's expanding southern and western suburbs often place school on one side of the city and home on another — online coaching stays available even when no strong offline batch sits on the daily Mansarovar or Vaishali Nagar route.
Online and offline choices
Offline Jaipur coaching suits families who already found a reliable coach near home with a manageable evening slot. Online is the better fit when school choice and housing put you far from that coach, or when you want a hard cap of six students and the same teacher every week. District and state events can remain in person.

Questions from parents in Jaipur
Who should a Jaipur parent contact about district junior events?
The district body to approach is Jaipur District Chess Association, which describes its role as governing chess in Jaipur district and states its affiliation with RCA. Use its website to ask for a junior circular, including age sections, entry requirements and the playing venue. Check the date on any notice before making plans for your child.
Which Under 7 and Under 17 dates did Jaipur list in 2026?
The district calendar recorded Under 7 on 26 April 2026 and Under 17 on 13-14 June 2026. These are past calendar dates, not a promise that the same weekend repeats each season. Ask JDCA for a later event notice with its venue and eligibility rules before making an entry.
Which Jaipur venues and schools appear in junior chess records?
Bright Future School in Nirman Nagar hosted a July 2025 open with U-7 through U-15 categories. Vishwakarma Recreation Club on Road No. 9, VKIA, was listed for the 15 November 2025 state Under-19 open. Neerja Modi School appears on the 2025 RBSE U-17 boys district starting list. Confirm the hall on the event notice, because listings name a place for a dated competition rather than a weekly club session.
What do online chess classes for kids in Jaipur cost?
Fees start from ₹375 per class for ages 5–15. Choose 1:1 or a live batch of up to six, keep the same coach, use English or Hindi, and receive a weekly WhatsApp parent report. 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. Start with a free 30-minute demo — no payment to try.
Do you run offline chess classes in Jaipur, or only online?
ChessWize has no offline centre in Jaipur; all classes are live online with a coach present on the call. That helps families in Malviya Nagar, Jagatpura, or Vaishali Nagar who cannot add another cross-town stop after school but still want structured weekly coaching.
How should a Jaipur parent balance online lessons with Rajasthan district events?
Use online weeks for openings, tactics, and game analysis with a coach who knows your child's level; use district and school events for over-the-board timing and nerves. The weekly WhatsApp report shows whether homework is landing. Small batches keep the coach able to adjust before the next RSCA-linked round.
How much does a class cost, and what comes in the pack?
One class costs ₹375, and the 8-class starter pack is ₹2,500. Both the demo and the level check are complimentary, and approved refunds reach the original payment method within 7-10 business days. Fees cover ages 5-15, batch or 1:1, in English or Hindi, with the weekly parent report included; reports and placement carry no separate charge.
Does my child need to know chess already?
Many Jaipur students start as complete beginners. The beginner roadmap teaches the board and legal moves first, then moves to finishing a complete game, using opening principles, and finding basic tactics and endings. Younger children follow the ages 5-8 track, which builds safe move habits and short complete games. Placement comes from the level check, so a first-timer and a school-club player each land where they belong.
Will the same coach teach my child every week?
Yes, and it is a guarantee, not a hope: same coach every session - no rotation. Your child's coach learns their habits, their openings and where they lose points, which a rotating stream of teachers cannot do. If you choose 1:1, the continuity goes further: the coach maps the current game, targets the highest-value gap, then tests the change in play across sessions.
What does a typical group session look like?
Each group session is built around one clear weekly idea. Children are placed by working level, practise with peers at similar strength, and the coach tracks individual understanding across the batch. Between sessions, homework prepares your child to contribute next time: a short set of positions, one saved game, or a question about the weekly theme.
How will I know my child is actually improving?
You get a weekly WhatsApp report for every student, so you can see what was covered each week without knowing chess yourself. Coaches set homework from your child's own errors, and rating-improvement students keep an error log that makes the trend visible. Many parents notice the change elsewhere first: better focus and calmer play at school.
Is online chess safe for a young child?
Classes run live on a video call with a coach on the line from start to finish, so nothing happens in an unstaffed room. Your child trains at home, within your earshot, and the ages 5-8 track is built around safe move habits first. The weekly report records what each class covered, so you always have a written trail.
Can we get a refund if we stop mid-pack?
Starter-pack refunds in Jaipur follow the same published windows as other plans, including a monthly full refund within 48 hours of enrolling and a pro-rated amount minus sessions attended before the 3rd session, after which the current month is not refunded and cancelling stops later billing. Around exam weeks the coach can reduce the workload, and the weekly report keeps you posted either way.
How does online training fit with Rajasthan tournaments?
The Rajasthan State Chess Association runs district and state events each year, and Jaipur school players enter them. Online weeks go to openings, tactics and game analysis; as a round approaches, tournament-prep takes over, working through the event format, the game plan and rehearsal under real conditions. On average a student reaches a first tournament in about 4 months, but readiness decides entry, not the calendar alone.
Why online instead of an academy near us in Jaipur?
An offline batch works well if a reliable coach sits near your home with an evening slot you can keep. In Jaipur, school often sits on one side of the city and home on another, so the strong batch is rarely on your daily route. Online removes that constraint: the same coach comes to your living room, and district events stay in person.
