What this Jaunpur class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Jaunpur. 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 Jaunpur.
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 Jaunpur.
Live Online Chess for Jaunpur Kids: Same Coach, Real Reports
ChessWize teaches live online chess to children in Jaunpur and across the wider district, from a child's first legal moves to rated tournament play. Your child learns in a skill-matched batch of 4-6 similarly-rated students, or one-to-one through our 1:1 Analyst Protocol. Your child keeps the same coach every session, so no week starts with a stranger. Because classes run at home, there is no extra ride across the Gomti after school, and families in the dense historic core and across the rural district follow the same progression.
The ladder is real. Beginners learn the board and legal moves, finish complete games, use opening principles and find basic tactics and endings; intermediate and advanced levels work on candidate moves, positional clues, repertoire and conversion, with tournament-prep and rating-improvement lanes above. Fees are plain: a starter pack of 8 classes costs ₹2,500, and regular plans afterwards move between ₹375 and ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan. Before any of that, a complimentary 30-min level check shows exactly where your child stands.
Progress stays visible to you, not just to us: we send a Weekly WhatsApp report for every student. One ChessWize parent said it best: "I don't know chess, but I can see exactly what she covered each week." The results back the reporting up. Reach their first tournament in about 4 months on average, and the work stands on 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents.
Begin with the complimentary 30-min demo and watch how your child responds before any money changes hands. Classes are live, so you can sit nearby whenever you wish, and the weekly report keeps you in the loop after each session. If you stop a Jaunpur monthly plan before the 3rd session, a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended is available after the first 48 hours. That is the whole arrangement, in plain words, for Jaunpur families.

Class times for Jaunpur
Jaunpur keeps India Standard Time (IST) through the year, so there is no daylight saving shift and the IST mapping never moves. Coach availability windows (IST) run across the week: morning sessions from 9:30 AM-1:30 PM, midday options at 10:30 AM-2:30 PM and 11:30 AM-3:30 PM, afternoons at 12:30-5:30 PM and 2:30-5:30 PM, and evenings from 4:30-9:30 PM or 5:30-8:30 PM. Shorter windows, 4:30-6:30 PM and 1:30-4:30 PM, also appear during the week. Because your local clock is the scheduling clock, what you see is what your child attends.

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

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. Our team includes Hrdyansh Pandey, Tarun Gupta, and Aryan Pal. After the complimentary 30-min level check, we place your child with the coach who fits the current stage, so the rating behind the board matches the teaching in front of it.
See coaches -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Classes run in exclusive, skill-matched batches of 4-6 similarly-rated students, held together for 12-week synchronized batches so peer play stays even. Group calculation and team-based tactical games come from that size. If you want full attention on one child, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol provides a private track. Either way, the coach can follow every move your child makes.
See class size -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes, from first legal moves to rated play. Beginners learn the board, finish complete games, apply opening principles and find basic tactics and endings. Intermediate work stabilises tactical vision and candidate moves; advanced training deepens calculation and converts preparation into events. Age tracks cover ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15, with tournament-prep and rating-improvement lanes on top.
See the curriculum -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
Every family receives a Weekly WhatsApp report for every student. It sets out what the class covered, the homework set, and where your child struggled or improved. Because it arrives each week, you never wait for a term to end to learn whether the coaching is landing. If something looks off, raise it and the coach adjusts.
See progress reports -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Lessons are live and online, held in your own home, so you can sit within earshot or walk past the screen whenever you like. Nothing is outsourced to a centre you never see. The weekly WhatsApp report adds a written trail of each class, and the complimentary demo lets you observe the coach before any payment.
Read safety policy -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. The complimentary 30-min demo works as a level check before you commit: your child plays, the coach assesses the current level, and you judge the fit. There is no charge and no obligation to continue. Only after that conversation do we talk about the starter pack or a regular plan.
See the level check -
Check 7
What if we stop?
On a Jaunpur monthly plan, ask within 48 hours of enrolling for a full refund or a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended before the 3rd session, after which there is no refund for the current month and cancelling stops later billing. A 3-month or 6-month enrolment allows a pro-rated refund within 7 days of enrolling, and the starter pack lets you begin with a small block before choosing a longer plan.
See refund terms -
Check 8
Will the timings fit our week?
Jaunpur runs on India Standard Time (IST), the same clock our schedule uses, and India carries no daylight saving shift, so slots never jump an hour. Coach availability windows (IST) include 9:30 AM-1:30 PM mornings, 12:30-5:30 PM afternoons, and 4:30-9:30 PM or 5:30-8:30 PM evenings, with shorter 4:30-6:30 PM and 1:30-4:30 PM options across the week.

Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes. Regular plans after the starter pack run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan. The demo is complimentary, and the weekly WhatsApp report goes to every family, so you always know what the fee covers.

Is there a path to tournaments?
Jaunpur District Chess Sports Association organised a chess tournament at Hotel River View on Sipah Road, inaugurated on 28 June 2026. Ask Jaunpur District Chess Sports Association about later play, and check the event you choose. On average, students reach a first tournament in about four months.

Check 11
What do I have to do at home?
Very little structure falls on you. Beginners practise with repetition and variation at a thinking pace and save one game a week for class. Younger children do best with five to ten focused minutes, stopping while they are still interested. If a rule causes a debate at home, note the position and the coach settles it with a board example next lesson.

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

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.”

Read on Google →Why the online format fits Jaunpur
Jaunpur is a historic eastern Uttar Pradesh city on the Gomti, recognised for Sharqi-era architecture such as Atala Mosque and the Shahi Bridge. It is also a district education centre, with Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University located nearby.
A specialist coach may be far from families living across the district or outside the central city. Live online classes make regular instruction possible at home and avoid adding travel after school on routes crossing the Gomti.
Local chess context
Young players in Jaunpur can enter chess through schools and the recognised Uttar Pradesh association structure. Weekly online coaching can supply a planned learning path, while verified local events remain the right place to practise clocks, touch-move rules, and playing across a real board.
Jaunpur combines a dense historic core with university-linked neighbourhoods and a wide rural district. Structured online teaching gives children in those different settings the same progression, from legal moves and tactics to notation and game analysis, without relocating the lesson.
Online and offline choices
A convenient offline group is useful for Jaunpur children who need in-room social confidence and frequent physical-board games. Online works better when the journey crosses town or starts outside it, and when parents value access to a coach selected by level rather than postcode.

Questions from parents in Jaunpur
Which Jaunpur organisation can I ask about junior tournament entry?
Jaunpur District Chess Sports Association is a documented local organiser: it ran a tournament at Hotel River View, Sipah Road, inaugurated on 28 June 2026. Ask the association about an appropriate age section before entering your child. For UP state championships, the entry rules require submission or recommendation through the concerned district association.
What registration should we check before trying state chess?
The UP state rapid prospectus for 2025-26 required participants to register with both UPCSA and AICF. AICF new registration and renewal cover an accounting year from 1 April to 31 March. Check the registration year in your chosen event's notice and ask the district association about the entry procedure.
What is the cost of ChessWize classes in Jaunpur?
Live online lessons start from ₹375 per class. Options include 1:1 teaching and batches limited to six children, with the appropriate choice depending on concentration, experience, and goals. The free 30-minute demo allows an initial level check and lets parents assess the coach before committing to a paid schedule.
Is there an offline ChessWize centre in Jaunpur?
No. ChessWize does not operate a physical centre in Jaunpur; every class is delivered live online by a coach. This gives city and district families equal access. For in-person tournament practice, parents should use authentic school or association opportunities and verify the organiser and venue themselves.
Can a student outside Jaunpur city or near Purvanchal University join?
Yes. Location within the district does not affect access if the child has a suitable device and stable connection. That can help students near the university or in outlying areas avoid a separate ride into central Jaunpur. Batch placement is based on chess level and timing availability, not the neighbourhood.
How much do chess classes cost in Jaunpur?
Begin with the free 30-minute demo, which costs nothing. If you continue, the starter pack gives 8 classes for ₹2,500. Plans after that are priced per class, from ₹375 up to ₹1,000 depending on the format you choose, whether 1:1 teaching or a small skill-matched batch. Nothing is charged for the level check itself.
Is there a ChessWize centre in Jaunpur?
No. Every class is delivered live online by a coach, which gives families in the city and across the district the same access to the same coaches. There is no building to travel to, which removes the ride into central Jaunpur. For over-the-board practice, use authentic school or association events and verify the organiser and venue yourself.
Can my child join from near Purvanchal University?
Yes. Location inside or outside the city does not change access, as long as your child has a suitable device and a stable connection. Students near the university and in outlying areas join the same batches as everyone else. Placement is decided by chess level and timing availability, never by the neighbourhood, so no one gets a thinner version of the programme.
How will I know the classes are working?
The weekly WhatsApp report is the main instrument: it lands every week and states what was taught and what comes next. You can also watch the change at home, in calmer play and fewer hung pieces. If the report and the games do not line up after a fair stretch, tell us and we will revisit the placement.
What does my child need for online classes?
A device with a stable connection, a chess board for home practice, and a quiet corner at class time. Keeping the login and notebook ready before the session stops a short lesson losing minutes to passwords or missing pieces. An adult can stay close at first for younger beginners, and the coach will tell you when to step back.
When do classes happen during the week?
Sessions sit inside coach availability windows in IST, which is the clock Jaunpur already runs on, so no conversion is needed. Windows range from morning 9:30 AM starts through afternoon and evening options ending as late as 9:30 PM. After the demo, we match your child to a window that protects school hours and family time.
Who will actually be teaching my child?
One of our experienced coaches, and the same one each session. After the complimentary level check we match the coach to your child's stage, and that person stays for the run of classes. You meet them in the free demo first, so you know exactly who is on the other side of the screen before the first paid class.
Does my child need to know chess already?
No. Complete beginners start with the board and legal moves, then finish their first full games within the beginner track. Children who already play casually are placed by working level, not age alone, so a child who knows openings is not stuck repeating rules. The demo sets the starting point for both cases.
Will my shy child cope in a group batch?
Batches hold only 4-6 similarly-rated students, so no child disappears into a crowd, and the coach places your child with peers at the same level. Participation can begin quietly, through moves on the board rather than long answers. If the group still feels wrong after a few sessions, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol offers a private alternative.
How soon can my child play in a tournament?
On average, our students reach their first tournament in about 4 months, once the tournament-prep work has rehearsed event conditions and repaired the game plan. Online training builds the chess; local school or recognised Uttar Pradesh association events supply the real board, clock and touch-move experience. We help you read the event notice, while the organiser's rules stay the authority.
