Why Kanpur families choose online coaching
Kanpur sits on the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh as a long-established industrial and education city, where CBSE and state-board schools field steady junior teams in district mind-sport events.
ChessWize is registered in Kanpur and delivers its live coaching programme from here, so local families get the same FIDE-rated coaches used for students nationwide — without building the week around a cross-city drive.
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 Kanpur
- 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 Kanpur
District and state events run through the Uttar Pradesh Chess Association, and ChessWize keeps a verified Google Business presence in Kanpur — a real local anchor for parents who want accountable coaching even when sessions stay online.
Because ChessWize is registered in Kanpur and maintains a verified Google Business presence here, local parents get a traceable operator for a live online programme that still uses the same FIDE-rated coaches and weekly parent reports as students in larger metros.
Online vs offline chess classes in Kanpur
A nearby offline coach in Kanpur can work well if the class is small, the timing is stable, and travel across the city is short. Online is stronger when school and home sit on opposite sides of town, when you want a hard batch cap of six, or when you prefer the same FIDE-rated coach every week with a written parent report. District events can still be played in person.

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!
