What this Rohtak class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Rohtak. 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 Rohtak.
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 Rohtak.
Rohtak chess lessons that fit a university-town school week
Rohtak families already treat study as structured work, and a weekly chess class can sit inside that rhythm without adding a drive toward Delhi. ChessWize teaches live online, one named coach on a fixed slot, with batches of 4-6 similarly-rated children or private 1:1 sessions. Hrdyansh Pandey, Tarun Gupta and Aryan Pal teach the programme, and the same guarantee applies to every child: Same coach every session - no rotation.
The ladder is real. Children start where they are: beginner groups learn the board, legal moves and a first complete game; intermediate players stabilise tactical vision and link openings to endings; advanced students work on calculation, repertoire and converting training into events. There are dedicated tracks for tournament prep and rating improvement, plus age bands for 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15. Placement happens at a complimentary 30-min level check before you commit, so nobody is guessed into a batch.
You should be able to check all of this before paying. A complimentary 30-min demo lets your child meet the coach and play. The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes. Regular plans after that run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan. One parent told us: "I don't know chess, but I can see exactly what she covered each week." That visibility comes from the weekly WhatsApp report for every student, plus a 48-hour monthly refund window if you stop after enrolling.
Chess in Rohtak: a local role model and school chess
Rohtak has a personal link to Haryana's first grandmaster: Himanshu Sharma describes his chess beginnings in the city. For school-age players, DAV CPS Public School on Delhi Road took part in the Inter DAV under-fourteen girls' state championship for 2025-26. The district association is based in Model Town. These give a family a local player to read about, a school competition to discuss and a body to contact.

From online class to a first tournament
- Send the Distt. Chess Association Rohtak an enquiry about age-group events for your child.
- Ask the school about team chess, with DAV CPS Public School's 2025-26 under-fourteen girls' participation as a local example.
- Choose an event only after checking its age cut-off, entry conditions and playing schedule.
- After online practice, replay a game on a physical board and talk through the moments when your child felt unsure.

How classes run
Your child keeps the same coach in a supervised small group, and a parent can sit in on any lesson. Read the full policy on the child safety page.
At home you need a laptop or tablet with a webcam and stable internet. Classes run in the browser. Setup details are on the online chess classes page.
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
- Same coach every session — no rotation
- Full refund within 48 hours of enrolling on a monthly plan
- Complimentary 30-min level check before you commit
- Weekly WhatsApp report for every student
Refund wording is on the refund policy.
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 named coach, not an anonymous tutor pool. The coaching team includes Hrdyansh Pandey, Tarun Gupta and Aryan Pal. One of them takes your child's slot and keeps it, so the person teaching week one is the same person teaching week twelve.
See coaches -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Group batches hold 4-6 similarly-rated students, matched by working level so nobody is bored or left behind. The format runs as 12-week synchronized batches with intense peer-play and group calculation. If you prefer full attention, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol gives your child the coach alone, targeting the highest-value gap in their game.
See class size -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes. Roadmaps run from a child's first board to rated play: beginner (learn the board and legal moves, finish a complete game), intermediate (stabilise tactical vision, read positional clues), advanced (deepen calculation, refine repertoire). Age tracks for 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15, plus tournament-prep and rating-improvement tracks, give each stage its own sequence.
See the curriculum -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
You get a weekly WhatsApp report for every student, written in plain terms: what was taught, what your child practised, and what comes next. The free 30-min level check sets a starting baseline, so improvement is measured against your child's own first assessment rather than a vague promise.
See progress reports -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Classes are live online at home, so you can sit nearby or drop in any time; nothing happens behind a closed academy door. Your child's coach is a named adult on a fixed slot, and the weekly WhatsApp report tells you exactly what each session covered, so nothing stays hidden.
Read safety policy -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. Book the complimentary 30-min demo: your child plays and the coach assesses level before you commit to anything. That session doubles as the level check, so the batch recommendation comes from evidence, not guesswork. You decide after the demo whether to take the starter pack.
See the level check -
Check 7
What if we stop?
Rohtak can leave a monthly plan with a full refund inside 48 hours of enrolling, then a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended before the 3rd class. After three attended classes the month in progress stays billed, though cancelling ends later charges. The starter pack remains the usual entry point, and leftover term sessions after 7 days can still be finished within the term.
See refund terms -
Check 8
Will the timings fit our week?
Timetables are built for Indian school weeks, in IST with no daylight shifting. Evening bands such as 4:30-9:30 PM IST and 5:30-8:30 PM IST sit after school and homework; morning windows like 9:30 AM-1:30 PM IST suit weekends and holidays. Your child keeps one fixed weekly slot.
See class times -
Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
Two clear numbers. The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes, which is the pack rate. Regular plans after the pack run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan. The demo is free, and the pack price is the full entry cost.
See fees -
Check 10
Is there a path to tournaments?
Ask the Distt. Chess Association Rohtak in Model Town, Haryana Chess Association's district unit, about later junior notices and confirm each event's own entry rules. Grandmaster Himanshu Sharma, Haryana's first grandmaster, began in this city. On average, students reach a first tournament in about four months after they start.
See results -
Check 11
What do I have to do at home?
Keep it light. For ages 5-8, five to ten focused minutes, such as setting up the board or solving two familiar positions, beats a long forced drill. Older children keep a single serious game each week saved for class, along with one honest question about it. If school exams crowd the week, tell the coach and the volume drops without losing the thread.

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

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.”

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.

Read on Google →Why the online format fits Rohtak
Rohtak is a major education city of Haryana, home to Maharshi Dayanand University and a wide school catchment for surrounding rural and semi-urban blocks. It sits close enough to Delhi for weekend links yet keeps its own campus-town rhythm.
University-town families want quality coaching without treating every skill as a Delhi errand. Online live chess brings a coach into Model Town or civil-line homes on a school-night clock that still leaves time for homework.
Local chess context
Rohtak's academic culture is exam-focused and competitive across Haryana Board and CBSE streams. A calm weekly chess plan sits beside that culture without inventing another commute into the capital region.
Rohtak's MDU and school catchment pull families from surrounding blocks who already treat study as structured work — a weekly live chess slot with a fixed coach and parent report fits that academic habit better than an occasional hobby meetup.
Online and offline choices
Offline local groups can be friendly for absolute beginners who live nearby. Online is stronger when you want a coach without treating chess as a weekend Delhi errand, or when rural-to-city school travel already fills the afternoon.

Questions from parents in Rohtak
Which grandmaster has a connection to Rohtak?
Himanshu Sharma, Haryana's first grandmaster, describes his chess beginnings as being in Rohtak city. His story offers a local player for a child to read about. For practical questions about entering competitions, the separate local contact is the Distt. Chess Association Rohtak, HCA's district unit based in Model Town.
Has a Rohtak school competed in under-fourteen girls' chess?
DAV CPS Public School, Delhi Road, Rohtak participated in the Inter DAV Under-14 Girls State Chess Championship 2025-26. It is a specific school-team example to raise with your child's school when asking about chess participation. For district competition enquiries, HCA lists the Distt. Chess Association Rohtak in Model Town.
What is the price of online chess coaching for kids in Rohtak?
From ₹375 per class. Children aged 5–15 learn live with a coach in 1:1 or small batches (max six). Free 30-minute demo, leftover sessions kept if you pause for exams, holidays or travel, weekly WhatsApp report. English and Hindi available. ChessWize overall Google rating is 5.0 (21 reviews).
Is ChessWize offline available near MDU or Model Town?
No. There is no physical ChessWize centre in Rohtak. Coaching is live online only, with a coach on a fixed weekly slot. That is how a university-town family reaches solid coach quality without a weekly capital-region drive into Delhi NCR.
Can a child from a nearby village school join if they study in Rohtak?
Yes, if they have a device and internet at the place they take the class — usually home. The programme is not limited to one Rohtak neighbourhood. Placement depends on chess level at the free demo, not on school address.
How much do online chess classes for kids in Rohtak cost?
The starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes, and that is the entry point for new students. Regular plans after that start at ₹375 and go to ₹1,000 per class, depending on which plan fits. The 30-minute demo is free, every student gets a weekly WhatsApp report, and there is nothing to refund before a Rohtak family pays. Our Google rating stands at 5.0 from 21 reviews.
Does my child get the same coach every week?
Yes. The coach who takes your child's first class keeps that slot for the whole programme, and there is no rotation after that first meeting. Feedback, homework and correction all come from one adult who knows your child's games and habits.
Can children from villages or nearby towns join the Rohtak batches?
Yes, as long as there is a device and internet where the child takes the class, usually home. The programme is not tied to one Rohtak neighbourhood or school. Placement is decided by chess level at the free demo, not by address, so a child from any surrounding block lands in the right batch.
Is there a physical ChessWize centre in Rohtak?
No. ChessWize coaching for Rohtak is live online only, on a fixed weekly slot with a coach. That is deliberate: it brings experienced coach quality to Model Town, civil lines or a village home without a weekly drive toward Delhi NCR. Offline groups nearby can suit absolute beginners, but experienced coaching at home is what we run.
What ages and levels does the programme cover?
Children from 5 to 15, with dedicated tracks for ages 5-8, 9-12 and 13-15. Levels run from beginner through intermediate and advanced, with separate one-on-one, group, tournament-prep, summer camp and rating-improvement formats. The free 30-minute level check places your child on the right rung before the first paid class.
When do classes run for Rohtak students?
Coaching windows run through the day in IST, which is Rohtak's own clock, with no daylight saving shifts to track. Morning bands start at 9:30 AM IST, midday options run to 3:30 PM, and evening bands go as late as 9:30 PM IST. Your child is fixed into one weekly slot that suits school.
Will the coaching be in English or Hindi?
Both are available. ChessWize coaching is offered in English and Hindi, so your child can learn in whichever language feels natural. This matters for younger children who may know chess words in one language and school words in another. Mention your preference when booking the free demo and the sessions are planned accordingly.
Why choose online chess coaching instead of a local Rohtak group?
Offline groups near you can be friendly for absolute beginners who live close by. Online is stronger when you want a coach without turning chess into a weekend Delhi errand, or when rural-to-city school travel already fills the afternoon. Live sessions come home on a school-night clock, with homework time left intact.
