Courses / Beginner
For parents of kids starting chess

Chess Makes Kids Think. We Make Chess Fun.

Live online classes where your child goes from knowing the moves to winning real games — and picks up focus, patience, and logical thinking along the way.

✓ Small groups, max 6 kids ✓ Coaches who are great with kids ✓ Pause or reschedule anytime

Beginner is right for your child if…

  • ✓ They are 10 or older and new to chess
  • ✓ Or they're younger but already know how the pieces move
  • ✓ You want them to build a real skill instead of scrolling and gaming

Is your child 9 or younger and brand new to chess?

The Elementary course starts gentler, with coaches who specialise in young kids.

What Chess Gives Your Child

More than a game — habits that carry into school and life.

Logical Thinking

Plan, calculate, decide. Chess trains the same muscles as maths and problem-solving.

Focus & Patience

A full game of chess needs sustained attention — a rare skill at any age.

Healthy Competition

Kids learn to compete hard, win with grace, and bounce back from losses.

Real Games, Real Confidence

By the end, your child plays full games confidently — with family, friends, and online.

Questions Parents Ask Us

My child doesn't know chess at all. Is that okay?

Yes. We start from the rules and build up step by step. No preparation needed — just curiosity.

What if my child falls sick or has exams?

Missed classes can be rescheduled, and you can pause classes during exams or vacations and resume later.

How do I know my child is progressing?

Coaches share regular updates, and your child earns a certificate when they complete the course. Most parents notice the change within weeks — at the board and beyond it.

Why online instead of a local academy?

No commute, no waiting rooms. Your child learns from home at a fixed time each week, and you get your evenings back.
