Online chess classes in Kolkata: common questions
Is online coaching a good way to learn chess in Kolkata?
Bengal's chess heritage means a genuinely competitive junior environment, so a planned, coach-led path helps your child progress steadily rather than learn in fits and starts. Live online coaching gives your child a dedicated FIDE-rated coach and a structured weekly plan regardless of which part of Kolkata you live in, with the same coach every session.
Do you have an offline chess class or centre in Kolkata?
No. ChessWize is fully live online, so children across Kolkata learn from FIDE-rated coaches over video without travelling to a centre. Classes are interactive and real-time, not recorded videos, so the coach watches your child play and corrects them live.
Are the online chess classes suitable for school students in Kolkata?
Yes. Sessions are scheduled around school timetables and run as small groups (six or fewer) or one-to-one. Each child follows a structured curriculum and parents get a weekly WhatsApp report on progress.
What does it cost and how do I start?
Programmes start with a complimentary 30-minute demo and level check. You can see formats and fees on the courses page, and the assigned coach stays with your child through the programme rather than rotating week to week.
Which age groups do you coach?
Children aged roughly 5 to 15, from complete beginners through tournament-level players, with the programme matched to the child's current level after the demo.
