What this Rajkot class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Rajkot. 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 Rajkot.
Who the format fits
It fits beginners through rated players whose family can protect a recurring IST time agreed after the level check, wants a group capped at six or a one-to-one format, and values one regular coach. It does not fit a family that needs a walk-in classroom in Rajkot.
Same coach every week, live online chess for Rajkot families
If your evenings in Rajkot disappear into peak-hour movement between the older wards and the newer residential corridors, an online class removes the trip entirely. ChessWize teaches live online chess for children aged 5-15: a FIDE-rated coach on the call, responding in real time, never a recorded video left to do the teaching. Your child joins either a private 1:1 Analyst Protocol or a batch of 4-6 similarly-rated students, and the first commitment we make is plain: Same coach every session - no rotation.
The first step costs nothing: a complimentary 30-min demo, with a complimentary 30-min level check before you commit, so placement happens before payment does. After that, the starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes. Regular plans then run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan you choose. If life intervenes and you stop, the promise is a 100% refund on unused sessions; you keep the classes your child attended and get the rest back.
What parents say they value most is knowing what actually happened in class. Monika Iyer, mother of Anika (11), put it this way: "I don't know chess, but I can see exactly what she covered each week." That visibility is the weekly WhatsApp report for every student: the topic taught, the strengths the coach noticed, and what to practise before the next session. Over a term, those reports let you follow the trend, even if you have never played a serious game yourself.
Chess also has somewhere to go in this region. School teams across Saurashtra enter Gujarat's district and state scholastic calendar, and our tournament-preparation track rehearses event conditions, repairs the game plan and reviews the evidence before and after each round. So far, 12 cohort district finishers have come through, 4 of them wins, with students reaching their first tournament in about 4 months on average. With 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents served, plus 21 Google reviews at 5.0, the routine is well tested: same coach, clear weekly idea, honest homework, visible progress.
Class times for Rajkot
The page uses Indian Standard Time (Asia/Kolkata). The recurring class time is agreed with the family after the level check.
Every window is quoted in India Standard Time (IST), which is already Rajkot's clock. IST does not move for daylight saving (DST), so the times you read are the times your child plays, all year. Morning coach availability begins at 9:30 AM-1:30 PM IST, with later starts at 10:30 AM-2:30 PM, 11:30 AM-2:30 PM and 11:30 AM-3:30 PM IST. Afternoon windows run 12:30-5:30 PM, 1:30-4:30 PM and 2:30-5:30 PM IST, and evenings run 4:30-6:30 PM, 4:30-9:30 PM and 5:30-8:30 PM IST.
| Window | Family time | Coach time |
|---|---|---|
| Family-agreed weekly class | Recurring time agreed after the level check (IST) | The same IST appointment for the family and coach |
What Rajkot parents pay
The published list runs from ₹313 to ₹1,000 per live class. Starter pack ₹2,500 for 8 classes (₹313/session) is the entry pack.
Prices are the INR list recorded in the pricing source as of 2026-09-04; unused sessions follow the published refund guarantee.

What the curriculum covers
Class length
Class length: see the programme page. The shared programme data does not publish one duration for every track, so this page does not manufacture one.
Batch formats in the programme data
12-week synchronized batches with strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students
Private option: 1:1 Analyst Protocol. Private 1:1 live analysis sessions + engine homework + written coach reviews
Beginner → intermediate → advanced
Beginner
- Learn the board and legal moves. The child practises setup, movement, captures, check, checkmate, castling, promotion, and en passant through playable examples. The coach checks understanding by changing the position.
- Finish a complete game. Once the rules are stable, the child plays guided games. The coach helps with a simple thinking routine but leaves enough space for the student to make and correct decisions.
- Use opening principles. Development, centre control, and king safety give the first moves a purpose. The child learns principles that work across many openings before studying a named repertoire.
- Find basic tactics and endings. Forks, pins, simple mates, and basic king-and-pawn endings turn rules into practical skill. Reviews stay focused on mistakes the beginner is ready to understand.
Intermediate
- Stabilise tactical vision. Pins, forks, skewers, discoveries, and removal of the defender are practised in mixed positions. The child must identify why a tactic works and what would stop it.
- Choose candidate moves. Instead of calculating the first attractive move, the student lists sensible choices. Checks, captures, threats, and improving moves become part of a deliberate search.
- Read positional clues. Open files, weak squares, pawn breaks, and poorly placed pieces help the child form a plan. Strategy stays connected to concrete moves rather than abstract rules.
- Link openings to endings. A compact repertoire produces familiar middlegames, while essential king-and-pawn and rook endings improve confidence when pieces come off the board.
Advanced
- Audit the player's game. Recent tournament and online games are grouped by error type. The coach establishes priorities and distinguishes one-off mistakes from patterns that need a training block.
- Deepen calculation. Exercises include candidate selection, comparison of resulting positions, defensive resources, and stopping points. Accuracy and evaluation matter more than the number of moves calculated.
- Refine repertoire and strategy. Opening files are tied to model positions and likely opponents. Middlegame work covers pawn structures, exchanges, initiative, and transitions rather than memorisation alone.
- Convert training into events. Pre-event preparation, clock plans, rest, and post-event review connect weekly lessons to competitive play. The plan changes as new game evidence appears.
How the first month starts
The level check establishes the starting point. Early lessons then use the first roadmap goal for that level: beginners learn the board and legal moves, intermediate players stabilise tactical vision, and advanced players audit recent games. The coach moves from that evidence instead of assigning a city-wide syllabus.
Practice and parent reporting
A beginner benefits from repetition with variation. Set up a king-in-check position in several ways, ask for all legal responses, or practise one mating pattern from both sides of the board. This confirms that the child understands the idea rather than remembers one diagram.
For visibility at home, the published commitment is Weekly WhatsApp report for every student, giving the family a regular account of what to practise next.
Recorded programme results
The first-party trust record, last changed 2026-07-13, lists 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents. It also records 4 district finishers in a cohort of 12, plus an average of 4 months to a first tournament. These are past records, not a promised result for one child.
DISTRICT — 2ND PLACE
Rachit Seksaria
Came to us plateaued and prepping for a district event. The coach analysed his games to pinpoint weak links, then drilled them. Within 2 months he finished 2nd (on tiebreaks) in the district tournament.
Event: District Tournament — 2nd place (tiebreaks)
Record date: 2 months in programme
FIDE-RATED AT AGE 6
Gahan C
His mother was understandably worried — would a 3-year-old learn online? She agreed to a 2-month trial. That was 2½ years ago. Gahan is still with us, has progressed from absolute beginner to a FIDE-rated player, and is the academy's youngest tournament-rated student.
Event: FIDE-rated tournament (youngest in academy)
Record date: 2.5+ years in programme

How child safety works
Every coach clears a multi-step hiring process, and background verification — police clearance plus a reference check — is completed before they teach a child. Classes are live lessons rather than recorded lesson libraries, parents may sit in on any session, and a parent or guardian should remain at home during classes for children under eight. Read the complete, observable delivery policy on the child safety page.
What to set up at home
Any laptop, desktop, or tablet with a stable internet connection and a webcam. Classes run on Zoom plus our own student platform for puzzles, homework, and progress tracking. Nothing to install — it all runs in the browser.
What happens in the demo
- 1 · Meet
A FIDE-rated coach meets the child for the complimentary 30-min level check before you commit.
- 2 · Check
The child plays and solves positions so the coach can identify the current level.
- 3 · Match
The family hears which skill-matched batch or one-to-one format fits the assessment.
- 4 · Decide
No payment is taken before the demo. Paid classes begin only after enrolment and an agreed recurring time.
The four published commitments
These lines come directly from the shared trust record and are shown without rewriting their terms.
- Same coach every session — no rotation
- 100% refund on unused sessions
- Complimentary 30-min level check before you commit
- Weekly WhatsApp report for every student
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 a FIDE-rated coach, not a video library. The coaching team includes Hrdyansh Pandey (FIDE rating 1850, FIDE ID IN-25600184), Tarun Gupta (1920) and Aryan Pal (1780). Ratings like these mean the coach has played at a measured level and can explain positions from experience. Your child keeps the same coach every session.
Check the proof → -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Group batches are strictly 4-6 similarly-rated students, placed at a comparable working level so nobody is left behind or held back. A batch runs as a 12-week synchronized plan with peer play, group calculation and team-based tactical work. If you would rather your child had the coach alone, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol provides private teaching.
Check the proof → -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes. The ladder runs from first moves for ages 5-8 through beginner, intermediate and advanced stages, with dedicated tracks for ages 9-12 and 13-15, tournament preparation, rating improvement, and an online summer camp. Each level has a written roadmap: the beginner track, for example, moves from learning the board to finishing complete games, applying opening principles, and finding basic tactics and endings.
Check the proof → -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
You get a weekly WhatsApp report for every student, so you see the topic taught, strengths noticed, and what to practise at home without having to decode chess notation yourself. The same coach teaching your child writes it after the weekly class cycle, which keeps the feedback specific rather than generic. Over weeks, the reports show a clear trend.
Check the proof → -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Classes are live online sessions in your own home: a FIDE-rated coach on the call, teaching and responding in the moment rather than assigning videos. You can sit within earshot whenever you like, and the weekly WhatsApp report confirms what was covered. Nothing requires a young child to travel anywhere.
Check the proof → -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. Your child can take a complimentary 30-minute demo class, and the level check before you commit is also complimentary: a 30-minute assessment so the coach can place your child at the right starting level. There is no payment for this first step. You meet the coach, see the teaching style, and decide with real evidence.
Check the proof → -
Check 7
What if we stop?
If you stop, ChessWize gives a 100% refund on unused sessions. In practice, that means classes you have paid for but not yet attended come back to you; completed sessions are simply used. You are not locked into paying for classes your child will not take, and this commitment is stated up front, before you enrol.
Check the proof → -
Check 8
Will the timings fit our week?
Coach availability windows run across the day in IST: mornings from 9:30 AM-1:30 PM, late morning into early afternoon, midday-to-afternoon slots such as 12:30-5:30 PM, and evening windows like 4:30-9:30 PM and 5:30-8:30 PM IST. Because Rajkot runs on IST, the listed times are exactly what you plan around, and classes sit beside homework without a cross-city trip.
Check the proof → -
Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes, which works out to ₹313 per class, and it is the natural first step. After that, regular plans run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan you choose. Those are two separate figures for two separate things, and the free 30-minute demo and level check come before any payment.
Check the proof → -
Check 10
Is there a path to tournaments?
There is a dedicated tournament-preparation track: understanding the event, repairing the game plan, rehearsing tournament conditions, and reviewing the evidence afterwards. The results behind it: 12 cohort district finishers so far, 4 of them wins, with students reaching their first tournament in about 4 months on average. Locally, school teams across Saurashtra enter Gujarat's district and state scholastic calendar, so the pathway has a real competitive field nearby.
Check the proof → -
Check 11
What do I have to do at home?
Very little, and none of it needs chess expertise. Depending on age, expect five to ten focused minutes for younger children, a short puzzle set or one saved game for older ones, and an error log for teenagers. If a rule causes confusion at home, note the position or send a photo, and the coach settles it in the next class.

★★★★★
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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

Read on Google →Why the online format fits Rajkot
Rajkot is the commercial hub of Saurashtra, a city of engineering workshops, gold jewellery trade, and a growing spread of English-medium and Gujarat-board campuses across the district.
Peak-hour movement between Rajkot's older wards and newer residential corridors can eat an entire evening. Online classes slot chess beside homework without anyone leaving home for a fixed centre pin on the map.
Local chess context
Saurashtra school teams regularly enter Gujarat's district and state scholastic calendar, so tracking results between rounds and patching recurring mistakes is part of keeping pace with a competitive regional field.
Rajkot's older centre and expanding residential corridors can place school, work, and home on separate routes. Because the class happens at home and the parent report arrives on WhatsApp, families can keep a clear weekly learning routine without relying on one coaching location.
Online and offline choices
Local offline coaching is sensible when a trusted teacher is close by and a child wants regular over-the-board company. Online lessons offer more flexibility for cross-city schedules and still include live play, correction, and game review with a coach who knows the child's level.
Programme claims are linked to the first-party source pages below; the city wording remains the existing city record.
Questions from parents in Rajkot
What is the starting fee for online chess coaching in Rajkot?
ChessWize pricing starts at Rs 375 per class. Fees vary by the selected individual or small-batch course, with no batch larger than six students. Before enrolling, your child can take a free 30-minute demo and level check with no payment. If you stop later, unused classes are covered by the refund policy.
Is there a ChessWize academy in Rajkot, and is learning chess online practical?
There is no ChessWize academy or physical branch in Rajkot. Coaching is live online, with a FIDE-rated coach teaching and responding in real time rather than assigning videos. It is practical for children who can focus on a screen and for households where travelling between older wards and newer residential areas takes too long.
How will Rajkot parents know whether their child is progressing?
The same coach works with the child every week and sends a WhatsApp report to the parent after the weekly class cycle. It can cover the topic taught, strengths noticed, errors to practise, and suggested homework. Parents can therefore follow the learning plan without needing to understand every opening or tactical pattern themselves.
Do I need to know chess myself to support my child?
No. The coach handles the chess side and writes a weekly WhatsApp report in plain terms: the topic taught, what your child did well, and what to practise. If a rule confuses the family at home, note the position or send a photo of the board, and the coach settles it at the start of the next session. Your job is mainly to keep the schedule steady and the device charged.
What happens during the complimentary 30-minute level check?
The coach plays with or talks through a few positions with your child, enough to gauge how they already think on the board, and then recommends a starting track: ages 5-8, 9-12, 13-15, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, and either a private session or a batch of 4-6 students. You meet the coach, ask questions, and there is no payment attached to this step.
Are batches grouped by age or by playing level?
Both, working together. Roadmaps are written for ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15, and the beginner, intermediate and advanced tracks follow a child's actual play. Within group batches, placement is by similarly-rated students, so a batch holds 4-6 children who can genuinely challenge each other. If the fit feels wrong after a few sessions, tell the coach; the level check exists to get placement right the first time.
Why choose online classes when Rajkot has local coaching available?
Both can work, and they suit different families. A nearby offline teacher is sensible when a child wants over-the-board company and the location is convenient. Online lessons suit households whose evenings break up between older wards, school runs and work, because the class happens at home and still includes live play, correction and game review with a coach who knows your child's level. No fixed centre pin, no cross-city trip.
Will my child get homework, and how much time does it take?
Yes, but it stays small and purposeful. For ages 5-8, five to ten focused minutes is often enough, and stopping while the child is still interested matters more than finishing. Ages 9-12 mix short tactical work with one slower game. Teenagers keep a small error log. None of it requires a parent who plays chess, and the coach sizes the work around the school week.
When can my child realistically play a first tournament?
On average, about 4 months from starting, though it depends on the child's starting level and appetite for competition. Before an event, the coach narrows the work: familiar opening positions, a controlled number of calculation exercises, and games at the expected time control, rather than frantic last-minute learning. Saurashtra school teams regularly enter Gujarat's district and state scholastic calendar, so there is a real competitive field to join once your child is ready.
Does the same coach teach every class, or do coaches rotate?
The same coach every session, with no rotation. Over weeks, that coach learns your child's habits: which openings feel comfortable, where losses tend to come from, and what to push next. The continuity also makes the weekly report specific, because the person writing it taught the class. In group batches, placement keeps the 4-6 students similarly rated, so the coach is not stretched across wildly different levels.
How long until we see visible improvement in my child's play?
Progress shows up in stages: first in cleaner games with fewer dropped pieces, then in results. What you can rely on from week one is visibility: the weekly WhatsApp report tells you exactly what was covered, and the coach tracks errors to practise. Parents in our reviews describe noticeable change over months of steady classes, and the level check at the start gives an honest baseline to measure against.
Is my five-year-old too young, or my teenager too old?
Neither. Classes run for ages 5-15, with roadmaps written for ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15. Young children start by feeling at home with the board and building safe move habits; teenagers establish an honest baseline, build a working repertoire and prepare for independent review. The complimentary level check places your child wherever they actually are, so age sets the style of teaching rather than a hard boundary.
Can a shy child manage in a group batch of four to six?
Yes. In batches of 4-6 similarly-rated students, participation can begin with written answers or moves on the board rather than speaking up, and you can flag shyness, language or pace so the coach adapts. Because every child is placed at a similar working level, a quiet student is neither scrambling to keep up nor sitting idle. If group still feels wrong after a while, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol is the private alternative.
