Five stages, fifteen levels and 240 taught sessions, from the first move through to Masters. Every level is sixteen sessions across two months.
Your child starts at the right level

Feedback every week
Coaches review submitted homework and answer questions between classes, so nothing waits until the next session.
Competition is built in

Parents can see all of it

StoryQuestions
Questions about chess classes in New Alipore.
Where is the New Alipore chess academy located?
At 2/1, Shyama Charan Smriti Tirtha Road, New Alipore, Kolkata 700053, within reach of Alipore, Chetla, Behala, Tollygunge and Taratala.
When do chess classes run in New Alipore?
Tuesday evenings from 5:00 PM, Saturday afternoons from 4:00 PM and Sunday mornings from 10:00 AM.
Is the New Alipore centre suitable for a complete beginner?
It is the centre we most often recommend for a first-time player. The coach is FIDE-rated and particularly good with children who are just starting out.
How large are the batches?
Batches are kept small enough for the coach to correct every child by name in a session, which is why each slot is capped rather than opened to everyone at once.
Can we start mid-year?
Yes. Students are placed by a coach at the session that matches their strength rather than at the start of a term, so there is no fixed joining date.
