My daughter , Vibha has been attending chess classes here and we are very happy with the experience. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and very encouraging with kids.

Coach’s feedback about Vibha:
Vibha is a steady learner. She has made a significant progress in recent times. She understands the concepts pretty well and never hesitate to question if she doesn’t. At first, she was a bit shy yet very polite in her nature and was a little nervous while playing matches. But as the time passed, she grew up with confidence and now she likes playing the game with excitement and enthusiasm. A big thanks to her mom as well who always supported her, making sure she never miss on her chess classes. With such consistent practice and steady learning, Vibha has all the qualities for becoming a great chess player in future.
Keep it up, Vibha!
