Got questions about tournaments, ratings, or schedules? We've got the moves figured out.
What is the best age to start Chess?
We recommend starting as early as 5 years old! At this age, children grasp patterns quickly, building strong cognitive foundations for strategic thinking.
Do you offer Online or Offline classes?
We offer both formats! Our offline centers provide a tactile physical board experience, while our online classes use interactive tools like Lichess & Chess.com.
How do students get FIDE Rated?
We guide students through official District and State tournaments. Once they accumulate rating points against rated opponents, they receive their international FIDE Rating.
What is the student-to-coach ratio in batches?
To ensure customized guidance, we maintain a small batch size with a low student-to-coach ratio (typically under 10 students per class).
Can my child participate in tournaments through the academy?
Absolutely! We actively register, prepare, and mentor our students for school, state, national, and international chess championships.
