Beginner Level

What your child learns

  • The board, every piece, and how to read basic notation
  • Check, checkmate, and stalemate — recognizing them instantly, not just by definition
  • First tactics: simple one-move traps and piece safety
  • Chess etiquette: touch-move, good sportsmanship, handling wins and losses well

What’s included

  • Small live batches — never a recorded video course
  • Monthly attendance report and home works sent directly to parents
  • In every two-session friendly practice game with coach to apply new skills

Why start now: the earlier a child starts, the faster focus and pattern-recognition skills build — most of our strongest Intermediate students started here before age 9.

 

Beginner — Educational Benefits

  • Builds attention span and the habit of following multi-step rules
  • Strengthens visual-spatial recognition — seeing the board as a whole, not square by square
  • Introduces cause-and-effect thinking: every move has a consequence
  • Builds patience and the ability to pause before reacting

Intermediate Level

What your child learns

  • Core tactics: forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks
  • Opening principles — center control, development, king safety
  • Basic endgame technique: king-and-pawn endings, two-piece checkmates
  • Reading and writing full games in algebraic notation

What’s included

  • Weekly homework puzzles between live classes
  • Internal ladder ranking, so progress is visible term to term
  • Optional entry into online rated practice tournaments

Why enroll now: This is the stage where real strategic thinking clicks — students who skip straight from beginner to advance without this stage usually have to backfill it later, more slowly.

 

Intermediate — Educational Benefits

  • Develops real decision-making under constraint — weighing trade-offs instead of guessing
  • Improves working memory through opening principles and pattern recall
  • Builds planning ability: thinking two and three steps ahead, not just reacting to the current move
  • Strengthens resilience — learning to analyze a loss instead of just feeling it

Advance Level

What your child learns

  • A personal opening repertoire — real prepared lines, not just theory
  • Middlegame planning: pawn structure, piece activity, attack and defense
  • Practical endgame technique: rook endings, opposition, key theoretical positions
  • Tournament skills: clock management, scorekeeping, preparing against a known opponent

What’s included

  • Coach-supported preparation ahead of every FIDE-rated event
  • 1-on-1 review of the student’s own tournament games
  • Direct coach access for tournament-week questions

Why enroll now: competitive readiness is time-sensitive — students preparing months ahead of a tournament consistently outperform those who start preparation the week before.

 

Advanced — Educational Benefits

  • Sharpens deep, multi-move calculation and long-range strategic thinking
  • Builds honest self-assessment through personal game analysis — spotting your own mistakes objectively
  • Trains composure and focus under real time pressure, not just theoretical pressure
  • Builds the discipline of methodical preparation toward a fixed outcome (a tournament date) — a habit that transfers directly to exam prep and other long-term goals
