Chess in Virar and the western suburbs
Virar sits at the far end of the western line, which has historically meant families travelling to Borivali or Andheri for serious coaching — an impractical round trip on a school night. Our Virar West centre exists so children in Virar, Nalasopara and Vasai can train locally, with the same coaches and curriculum that ChessMates uses for students across eleven countries. Students who want to continue during holidays or after relocating can switch to the online programme without changing coach or losing progress.
Batch timings
Beginner, intermediate and advanced batches run at the Virar West centre in both morning and evening slots. Timings are set around local school hours, and you can switch batch if your child's schedule changes.
