With families spread from Kothrud to Wakad to Hinjewadi, live online coaching is often the only way to get consistent weekly lessons with a rated coach without a long evening commute.
Plans are priced in INR for Indian families, with group classes from ₹4,500 per month and private 1-on-1 coaching from ₹8,000.
What are the class timings for Pune families?
Classes run in IST, most commonly between 4 pm and 9 pm on weekdays, with weekend slots also available.
Can my child play Maharashtra state tournaments after online training?
Yes — the state circuit has age-group events throughout the year, and tournament preparation is part of the curriculum.
What parents in Pune say
ChessMates has been wonderful for my daughter. The coach is patient, the classes are interactive, and her tactical skills have improved so much.
The evening IST slots work perfectly around school and homework. My son has gone from knowing just the moves to winning school tournaments.
We love the structured curriculum and the progress reports after every session. It feels like a proper academy, not just casual classes.
