What this Singrauli class is
ChessWize is a live online chess class for children aged 5–15, offered to families in Singrauli. 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 Singrauli.
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 Singrauli.
Online chess for Singrauli children, taught by experienced coaches
ChessWize teaches chess online to children across Singrauli, and we built the format for exactly the geography you live with: townships separated by long routes, and households organised around shift duties. Your child learns from a coach in a skill-matched group of 4-6 students or in a private 1:1 track. The same coach teaches every session, with no rotation. Before any of that begins, a complimentary 30-min level check places your child by evidence rather than guesswork. You can sit nearby for that first meeting and every lesson after it.
The programme runs on defined roadmaps, from a first look at the board to tournament preparation, with separate tracks for ages 5-8, 9-12, and 13-15 and for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players. Each week has one clear teaching idea, then supervised play against peers at a similar level. You do not have to take our word for any of it: a WhatsApp report lands every week saying what was covered. One mother, who does not play herself, told us, "I can see exactly what she covered each week," and that visibility is the point. Our Google reviews stand at 5.0 from 21 parent reviews.
On price, the starter pack is ₹2,500 for 8 classes, and regular plans after it run from ₹375 to ₹1,000 per class depending on the plan; we state the per-class figure for your chosen plan before payment. Children who catch the competitive streak move into tournament preparation, and on average a first event arrives about 4 months in. Book the complimentary demo and we will find the slot that fits your week.
Chess in Singrauli: following the school links to rapid play
The 2026 Singrauli one-day open rapid tournament record connects local chess with several schools. Its start list includes Christ Jyoti School Singrauli, DAV Dudhichua and DPS Vindhyanagar as club tags. De Paul School appears too. These school references give parents concrete names to ask about when looking for tournament experience. The record was updated on 8 February 2026; use it to start enquiries about participation, rather than to assume a school runs a regular chess club.
Who runs junior chess here
- MP Chess Ad-Hoc Committee. For state-level enquiries beyond the Singrauli tournament record, AICF lists this committee as the Madhya Pradesh affiliate. [2]

G.H. Raisoni Memorial Singrauli One Day Open Rapid Chess Tournament 2026
Record last updated on 8 February 2026 · Singrauli
This open rapid start list includes several school club tags, so ask the organiser which entry rules applied rather than treating a school tag as a published junior section. [1]
From online class to a first tournament
- Ask at your child's school about tournament participation, using the Singrauli rapid start list as a concrete example.
- Check the entry rules and playing hall with the organiser before treating a school club tag as a venue.
- Practise timed games online, then make time for the same clock routine on a physical board.
- For a state competition, consult the MP Chess Ad-Hoc Committee listing and read that event's own eligibility notice.

Class times for Singrauli
All class times are quoted in India Standard Time (IST), which is the same clock Singrauli already runs on; India does not observe daylight saving, so the IST mapping never shifts during the year. Coach availability opens in the morning from 9:30 AM-1:30 PM IST on some days, runs midday windows such as 11:30 AM-3:30 PM IST and 12:30-5:30 PM IST, and continues into the evening with slots like 4:30-9:30 PM IST and 5:30-8:30 PM IST. Between those, you will also find 10:30 AM-2:30 PM, 1:30-4:30 PM, 2:30-5:30 PM, and 4:30-6:30 PM windows across the week. During the free demo we fix the slot your household can keep.

Recorded programme results
As of 2026-07-13, the trust record lists 1,000 students coached and 1,500 parents, with 4 district finishers in a cohort of 12 and an average of 4 months to a first tournament. These are past records, not a promise for one child.
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 coach: Hrdyansh Pandey, Tarun Gupta, or Aryan Pal. Whoever takes the first lesson continues with your child; sessions are not handed between staff. Ask for the rating and you will get it before enrolment, and the complimentary level check doubles as a first meeting with the actual teacher.
See coaches -
Check 2
How many children share the coach?
Group batches hold 4-6 students of similar playing strength, so six children is the most your child shares a coach with. Sessions inside a batch mix intense peer play, group calculation, and team-based tactical work on a 12-week synchronized cycle. If you would rather have undivided attention, the 1:1 Analyst Protocol gives your child the coach alone.
See class size -
Check 3
Is there a real curriculum from beginner to rated play?
Yes. Roadmaps exist for ages 5-8, 9-12, and 13-15, and for beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages, with separate tracks for tournament preparation, rating improvement, and the online summer camp. A beginner climbs from the board and legal moves to complete games, opening principles, and basic tactics; an advanced student audits their own games and converts training into events. The level check decides the entry rung.
See the curriculum -
Check 4
How will I know it is working?
You receive a WhatsApp report from the coach every week saying what your child covered and what comes next. You do not need to play chess yourself to follow it. Over a month, the reports show a pattern: drills completed, games reviewed, and the errors your child has stopped making. If something looks off, you reply to the same coach directly.
See progress reports -
Check 5
Is it safe, and can I see the classes?
Classes run live on your own device at home, so you can sit within earshot whenever you wish; your child never travels to a venue alone. One named coach takes every session, not a new face each week. The demo lets you watch the coach work with your child before you pay, and the weekly report keeps you informed after that.
Read safety policy -
Check 6
Can we try before paying?
Yes. Your child starts with a complimentary 30-min demo, which includes a level check before you commit to anything. Use it to test your internet from home, watch how the coach handles your child, and see whether the timing holds. You decide on a paid plan only after that session, and placement follows the check rather than age or guesswork.
See the level check -
Check 7
What if we stop?
Monthly enrolment from Singrauli can be reversed with a full refund within 48 hours; until the 3rd session a pro-rated refund minus sessions attended still applies. After the 3rd monthly session there is no refund for the current month, and cancelling stops future charges. Sessions already taught remain billed, which is fair to the coach as well, 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?
Classes run on IST, Singrauli's own clock, so there is nothing to convert and no daylight saving shift to track. Coach windows span the day: mornings from 9:30 AM, midday between roughly 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM, and evenings until 9:30 PM. That spread usually absorbs shift duties; the demo is where we lock the weekly slot.
See class times -
Check 9
What does it cost, exactly?
You begin with the starter pack at ₹2,500 for 8 classes. Regular plans after the pack are quoted per class, from ₹375 to ₹1,000 depending on the plan and format. We name the exact per-class rate for your chosen plan before you pay, and the free demo means your first decision costs nothing.
See fees -
Check 10
Is there a path to tournaments?
Yes. We run a tournament-prep level. On average, students reach a first tournament in about four months of coaching. Chess-results listed the Raisoni Memorial one-day open rapid in Singrauli, last updated 8 February 2026, with club tags from Christ Jyoti School and DAV Dudhichua. Ask the MP Chess Ad-Hoc Committee about later notices, and check that event's requirements.

What do I have to do at home?
Very little, and none of it needs chess knowledge. Younger children do best with five to ten focused minutes: arrange the board, rehearse how a single piece moves, or solve two familiar positions, then stop while interest is still high. Older ones save one serious game a week and bring a single question from it. The coach handles the rest.

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

I am extremely happy with ChessWize Chess Academy. The coaching is very structured, child-friendly, and delivered with amazing patience. Each session is interactive and helps kids build strong fundamentals along with confidence. The best part is the personal attention given to every student, which truly makes a big difference in their progress. The academy also celebrates students’ achievements, motivating them even more. I strongly recommend ChessWize to anyone looking for quality chess training.

Hi, just wanted to share a feedback about the ongoing chess classes My daughter harshitha really enjoyed learning chess with Ankit Rajoriya. His classes are highly engaging and interactive, making it easy to stay focused throughout the session. He explains concepts clearly, patiently answers questions, and provides practical strategies that help improve both understanding and gameplay. I have noticed a steady improvement in her chess skills and confidence since joining his classes. I would highly recommend Ankit as a chess coach to anyone looking to learn and grow in chess. Really appreciate the effort and happy with her progress 👍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great learning platform with clear teaching, supportive mentors, and well-structured content. Very effective and highly recommended
Read on Google →Why the online format fits Singrauli
Singrauli is a major energy and mining region on the Madhya Pradesh–Uttar Pradesh border. Its urban life is spread across Singrauli district, including the administrative centre at Waidhan and industrial townships around the coalfields and power plants.
Homes, schools, and workplaces can be separated by long township routes, while shift duties complicate drop-offs. Live online coaching reaches each locality with the same teacher and no dependence on one central academy.
Local chess context
Young players can use school competition and Madhya Pradesh's organised chess system for over-the-board experience. Online coaching is particularly useful between events in a geographically dispersed district, providing continuity and game review.
The Rihand reservoir and the region's power stations shape both its landscape and employment. A home lesson travels across township boundaries more reliably than a child can, especially when a parent is on shift.
Online and offline choices
Offline is worthwhile when a capable coach and suitable peers are genuinely available within the same township. Online wins across Singrauli's dispersed settlements, for shift-based households, or when access to a coach matters more than sharing one room.

Questions from parents in Singrauli
Which schools appear in the Singrauli rapid tournament record?
The 2026 start list carries club tags for Christ Jyoti School Singrauli, DAV Dudhichua, DPS Vindhyanagar and De Paul School. That is evidence of school links in the event record. It does not establish an open chess session at those schools, so ask about participation arrangements before planning a visit.
Does the 8 February 2026 date tell us when another event was due to run?
No, that date is the last update attached to the 2026 Singrauli one-day open rapid listing. It is not a recurring timetable. The event name and its school club tags are useful references when making enquiries, but obtain a dated notice with entry conditions and venue details for any edition you want to attend.
How much are online chess classes in Singrauli?
Fees start from ₹375 per class. ChessWize offers live 1:1 teaching and groups capped at six children, with placement based on current ability. A free 30-minute demo lets the household test connectivity, coach interaction, and schedule before paying for a regular programme.
Is there a ChessWize offline centre in Singrauli?
No. ChessWize has no physical centre in Singrauli, Waidhan, or the industrial townships. Coaching is live online with experienced instructors. Families can still use suitable school games or local events for face-to-face play while avoiding any false expectation of a ChessWize branch.
Will classes work for children living in an industrial township?
Yes, where internet is stable and the child has a quiet laptop or tablet setup. Online delivery removes travel between townships and can suit energy-sector shift schedules. Parents should use the free demo to test the actual connection and choose a group time or 1:1 slot they can maintain.
What does my child need at home for an online class?
A laptop or tablet with a stable internet connection and a quiet place to sit is enough. Keep a physical board nearby for practice between lessons, and a notebook where older children can note positions. If your township connection dips, mention it during the demo so we can plan around it. Younger children may want a parent nearby for the first few minutes; after that they usually manage on their own.
Can my child start as a complete beginner with no tournament plans?
Yes, and most children do. The beginner roadmap starts with the board and legal moves, moves to finishing a complete game, then opening principles and basic tactics. Children aged 5-8, 9-12, and 13-15 each follow a plan written for their age, so a new seven-year-old is not bundled with experienced players. Tournaments arrive later only if your child warms to the idea; nothing is compulsory.
How soon will we see improvement?
Early signs appear within weeks in the WhatsApp report: fewer one-move blunders, longer games, calmer handling of a lost position. Ratings and tournament results take longer; the rating-improvement track works by collecting real games, naming the bottleneck, and retesting. Judge progress over a school term rather than a single class. If a plan is not landing, the coach rewrites the homework instead of repeating it.
Will classes fit shift duties and township travel?
Yes, the window spread helps unusual work patterns. Beyond after-school hours, coaches open midday slots such as 11:30 AM-3:30 PM IST and 12:30-5:30 PM IST, which suit households where one parent is on shift. Since classes happen at home, nobody travels across townships to reach a lesson. Confirm the workable window during the demo and the same slot repeats each week.
Does the free demo commit us to anything?
No. The 30-minute demo is complimentary, and it includes a level check so placement rests on what your child actually shows on the board. You watch the coach teach, test your own internet at the hour you would attend, and ask about plan and price. Only if the household is satisfied does a starter pack enter the conversation.
What happens in the first month after we join?
The starter pack of 8 classes sets the base. The coach builds on the level check, settles your child into a 4-6 batch or a 1:1 track, and starts the roadmap's first rung. A WhatsApp report arrives each week naming what was covered. By month's end you will know whether the slot holds, whether your child looks forward to class, and what the next stretch targets.
Is the summer camp available online for Singrauli children?
Yes, an online summer camp is among the tracks on offer, alongside the regular weekly batches and 1:1 work. Camp teaching is concentrated: the seasonal intake is confirmed, one camp objective is set, and the idea learned is applied the same day. Extra home work stays light, with one saved position or game to review and enough time away from the screen. Ask about camp timings during the demo.
Why online classes instead of searching locally?
Face-to-face chess makes sense when a good coach and well-matched peers sit in your own township; across a district this spread out, that is uncommon. Online, your child gets a coach and a batch matched to playing level without anyone crossing township routes after school. School games and local events still provide over-the-board practice between terms, so the two formats support each other.
