Real cubs, real games, real progress.

Shankar & Shreya: 18 months of classes, ratings nearly doubled, and the confidence to enter rated tournaments.

“Shankar and Shreya developed confidence and enthusiasm to participate in rated chess tournaments, and they are steadily progressing. Even their online ratings almost doubled in the last 18 months.”

Aarya: qualified for the Washington State Elementary Chess Tournament; scored 3 wins and 1 draw from 5 games.

“With their support, I qualified for the Washington State Elementary Chess Tournament, where I won three and drew one of my five games. I know that I could not have achieved this without their encouragement.”

Yemofe: from learning the rules to beating his mum, in one year.

“At this time last year I didn't know how to play chess properly, and now I easily beat my mum, who before was easily able to beat me.”

“We figured out that Yemofe had the interest and potentially the attitude for chess, but we as his parents did not have the structured experience or processes to teach him the game and the rules of chess properly.”

Divit: more than 1½ years of classes, from beginner to understanding the whole game.

“I've learned a lot about middlegames and endgames, and also how to use pieces correctly, and many valuable chess rules.”

“It has been more than one and a half years since he is taking classes from this academy, and it has been a great experience. Teachers are highly knowledgeable, patient and passionate about teaching the game.”

Adishankar: a new subject every class, and the tactics he loves; his dad's three reasons to recommend ChessCubs.

“I like Vishnu sir's classes because I get to learn a new subject every day. I like knight forks and all kinds of forks, pins, discovered checks, discovered attacks. Those are all good tactics I would like to use.”

“The classes are really structured and logical, and it is specific to your child's needs. It is tailored based on whether he is beginner, intermediate or advanced.”

The Vinod family: three kids learning from Australia, with classes that run smoothly across time zones.

“He helps me learn chess faster. He is patient and teaches us different chess moves clearly.”

“Vishnu is an excellent teacher. He explains concepts very clearly and makes learning chess enjoyable for kids. I have seen significant improvements in my kids' thinking, focus and confidence.”

Agastya: nine months in, from almost no chess to better focus and attention to detail.

“Since then he has not only shown improvement in the game, but he has also improved his focus and attention to detail, which I'm sure will always help him in life.”

Arjun: didn't want to join at first; a year later, more focused, and it carried over into school.

“At first, I used to not be interested in chess and I didn't want to join. But then now, since I joined this academy, I started becoming more focused and I even improved in school.”

Vedant: over a year of coaching that finds the gaps in his game and closes them, while keeping it fun.

“Dedicated time for strengthening my game and at the same time finding gaps and helping me overcome those.”

“ChessCubs most importantly has helped my son really enjoy playing the game, and that, ultimately, I think is what is important.”

Aarna: two years at ChessCubs; now winning more games and competing in tournaments.

“Since then, I've been winning more chess games and I've been competing in tournaments.”
