What excessive screen time can cost
The bigger concern may be what excessive screen time means for a developing brain.
Excessive screen time can disrupt sleep and encourage sedentary habits associated with weight gain. But one of the most serious concerns raised in child-health and neuroscience research is its potential relationship with altered brain development, including structural changes in the prefrontal cortex, which plays a vital role in attention, impulse control and decision-making.

Skills they use every school day
Help them become more thoughtful learners, one move at a time.
From understanding a maths problem to preparing for a test, children are constantly asked to pay attention, think clearly and work through challenges. Chess gives them a structured way to practise these habits.
Stay focused in class
Practise giving one problem their attention, noticing details and staying with a task before moving on.
Work through difficult questions
Break a challenge into smaller steps, examine the information and consider different ways to solve it.
Think before answering
Pause, weigh the options and choose a response instead of rushing into the first answer.
Plan homework and tasks
Think about what needs to happen first, what comes next and how each step affects the result.
Learn from mistakes
Review an incorrect answer, understand where the thinking went off track and try a better approach.
Build independent thinking
Practise explaining why a choice makes sense and taking responsibility for the next move.

Questions parents ask
A few things worth knowing before you begin.
Does my child need to know chess already?
No. Complete beginners are welcome. The coach assesses the child's current understanding and recommends the right starting session.
Are classes online or offline?
Both. Live online classes are available across India and internationally.
How often do students attend classes?
The standard learning rhythm is two live classes per week. Each level contains 16 sessions and takes approximately two months.
Can parents track their child's progress?
Yes. The academy portal gives parents access to attendance, assignment scores, tournament results, progress reports and other learning updates.
Is the assessment free?
Yes. The demo is a no-obligation assessment with a coach. Your child gets to experience the class and you receive a level recommendation.
Will chess automatically improve school marks or memory?
No academy should promise that. Chess gives children structured practice in planning, calculation, evaluating options and reviewing mistakes. Whether those skills transfer to school performance varies, and research does not justify guaranteed academic outcomes.
