Why Jammu and Kashmir families choose online coaching
Jammu and Kashmir has distinct regions, mountain geography, and travel conditions that can change with season and location. Families in Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, and smaller towns do not all have equal access to specialist coaching.
Live online lessons remove the need for regular long-distance or weather-dependent travel. They connect a child to the same weekly coach from home, while honestly requiring a stable internet connection for full participation.
What's included
- ✓ FIDE-rated coaches, same coach every week
- ✓ Small batches (max 6) or one-to-one
- ✓ Weekly WhatsApp progress report

Chess for kids in Jammu and Kashmir
Chess is played in schools and through organised activity in Jammu and Kashmir, though opportunities can vary by place and season. Regular online study can continue between local playing opportunities, with over-the-board games used whenever accessible. Jammu & Kashmir's competitive circuit runs under the AICF-affiliated All J&K Chess Association, and the region produced IM Soham Kamotra, its first International Master. Srinagar hosts the recurring Kashmir International Open FIDE-rated tournament, organised by The Kashmir Chess Club at the Polo Ground indoor sports complex.

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!

Online chess classes in Jammu and Kashmir: common questions
How much is online chess coaching in Jammu and Kashmir?
ChessWize classes start from Rs 375 per class for ages 5–15. Families can choose live 1:1 coaching or a group of no more than six, in English or Hindi, with one regular FIDE-rated coach. Parents get a weekly WhatsApp report. The 30-minute demo is free, and unused classes are refundable under the plan terms.
Is online chess suitable here, and do you have a centre in Jammu or Srinagar?
ChessWize is online only and has no physical centre in Jammu, Srinagar, or elsewhere in Jammu and Kashmir. Lessons are live and interactive, but a stable connection is genuinely important. Where available, school games or local events can add over-the-board experience that complements the calculation and game review done with the online coach.
Can lessons continue during winter when travel becomes difficult?
Online lessons avoid road travel, so they can be easier to maintain during winter, provided the home has reliable power and internet at class time. The regular coach and agreed weekly slot remain the same. If connectivity is disrupted, families should contact the ChessWize team rather than treating a missed live interaction as completed teaching.
