At Delhi Chess Classes, we believe that a genuine love for the game is the foundation for long-term success and enjoyment. Our primary philosophy for beginners is “Learn, Grow, and Enjoy.” We focus on:
Building Critical Thinking: Using chess as a tool to develop patience, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
Nurturing Sportsmanship: Teaching children how to win graciously and learn resiliently from a loss.
Making it Fun: We create engaging lessons that ensure children are excited to come to class. While we are very proud of our students who compete and win trophies, our core goal is to develop confident and thoughtful children, not just chess players.
Absolutely. We are incredibly selective about our instructors because we know a great player isn’t always a great teacher for kids. Our coaches are chosen for two main qualities:
Expertise in Chess: All our senior coaches are FIDE rated players with expertise in theoretical chess.
Passion for Teaching Children: This is our differentiator. Our coaches are patient, encouraging, and specially trained to work with the 6-12 age group. They excel at breaking down complex ideas into simple, fun concepts and are dedicated to creating a positive and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued. We encourage you to see this for yourself in a trial class.
Yes, we have a comprehensive, step-by-step curriculum designed by experts to ensure steady progression without overwhelming the student. The learning path for a beginner is a clear and exciting journey:
Phase 1 – Foundation: Learning the rules, piece movements, and basic board vision through interactive games.
Phase 2 – Tactics & Training: Introducing key tactical motifs (like forks and pins) through puzzles and guided practice.
Phase 3 – Strategy & Play: Teaching opening principles, middle-game planning, and endgame techniques, followed by analyzing the student’s own games.
Our lessons are a dynamic mix of instruction on demo boards, puzzle-solving sessions, and supervised play, making every class an engaging adventure.
We take maximum 4 students per batch at beginners level. Our class environment is vibrant, interactive, and supportive. We strive to make our classroom feel like a chess club where kids are eager to participate. You’ll see students collaborating on puzzles, discussing moves, and encouraging each other—all under the guided supervision of our coaches.
And yes, we highly recommend a trial class!
Seeing is believing. A trial session is the best way for you and your child to experience our teaching style, feel the energy of the class, and see if it’s the right fit. There’s no obligation, and it gives your child a chance to answer the most important question: “Did you have fun?”
Our curriculum is tailored to each student’s level and goals. For beginners, we focus on fun fundamentals and building confidence through interactive lessons. For tournament-bound students, we advance into deep strategy, game analysis, and competitive preparation. Both paths are structured but personalized, ensuring the right balance of challenge and enjoyment. We guide every student from their first move to their master game.
We believe in transparent partnership with parents. We don’t just teach your child; we keep you informed. Our system includes:
Regular Feedback: After key milestones, you will receive constructive feedback on your child’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Parent-Teacher Meetings: We schedule periodic meetings to discuss your child’s progress in detail.
Progress Reports: For our advanced batches, we provide structured reports tracking tactical and strategic understanding.
Open Communication: parents are always welcome to speak with the coach briefly before or after class for quick updates.
