Why Kadapa families choose online coaching
Kadapa sits in the Rayalaseema region on the Penna River and has long served as a gateway town for pilgrims travelling on to Tirumala. It is the headquarters of YSR Kadapa district and a hub of government colleges linked to Sri Venkateswara University.
Kadapa's coaching options for a niche skill like chess tend to cluster in one or two parts of town, so a family on the far side of the district headquarters area often has to choose between a long evening trip and skipping the activity. A live online session removes that trade-off entirely.

How online chess classes work in Kadapa
- 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 Kadapa
Rayalaseema's school system runs on the same Andhra Pradesh scholastic calendar as the rest of the state, and the Andhra Pradesh Chess Association coordinates the junior events children eventually compete in. Regular coaching between those events is what actually builds a child's game.
Because Kadapa functions as a stopover for Tirumala-bound travellers as much as a residential town in its own right, local coaching addresses are unevenly spread. A fixed online slot gives a child in any part of the district headquarters the same access to a FIDE-rated coach as one living next to a coaching hub.
Online vs offline chess classes in Kadapa
A Kadapa family living near one of the town's few chess coaches can still get real value from in-person sessions, especially if a child prefers playing across a physical board with others present. Online coaching becomes the more practical choice once distance, an evening job commute, or an unpredictable coach schedule makes a fixed offline slot hard to keep every week.

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 Kadapa: common questions
How much do online chess classes for kids in Kadapa cost?
Plans start from Rs 375 per class for children aged 5 to 15. You can choose a private 1:1 lesson or a small live batch capped at six students, always with the same FIDE-rated coach. The first 30-minute demo is free, and any classes you do not use are refunded under the plan terms.
Is there an offline chess coaching centre in Kadapa?
No — ChessWize does not run a physical centre in Kadapa or anywhere else; every session is live online with a real coach watching the child's moves in real time. That suits families spread across Kadapa's district headquarters area who would otherwise need a long evening trip to reach a single coaching address.
My child has never played chess before — can they still join classes in Kadapa?
Yes. The free 30-minute demo doubles as a level check, so the coach can see whether your child knows the rules or is starting from zero, then plan the first few weeks accordingly. Lessons run in English or Hindi, and a weekly WhatsApp report tells you what was covered.
