## About Chess Coaching

### What We're About

Chess isn’t just a board game for us - it’s a way to make your mind sharper and your thinking smarter. Since 2019, I’ve seen everything from tiny beginners to adults picking up the game after years, and I still get a kick out of that spark kids have when they pull off a great move. We want everyone to get that joy, whether you’re dreaming of a trophy or just want to beat your cousin next time.

### Who Fits In Here

- Kids who want to learn or get serious with chess classes for kids
- Grown-ups who missed out or want to brush up
- Total beginners who barely know a pawn from a bishop
- Players who want to move up from casual to serious
- Advanced folks eyeing tournament preparation for chess

### How We Coach

- We keep it fun, like acting out a chess board or solving puzzles in groups
- Coaches break down stuff so even a six-year-old gets it, but we don’t talk down to anyone
- We use online chess coaching tools and digital boards to make lessons pop
- Cover basics like castling, checkmates, and tricks you’ll actually use on the board

### Where You Can Join

- Classes at our Whitefield academy in Bengaluru - there’s space for parents to chill, too
- Live online chess coaching from wherever you are
- Both group chess sessions and one-on-one options

### Our Track Record

- Loads of our students have bagged wins in school and regional tourneys
- We link up with big places like IIIT Bangalore and Chess.com for more playing chances

You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and you might just surprise yourself with how far you go.

## Meet your expert

[Check N Mate](https://mytribe.in/checknmate40)

### My story

We kicked off Check N Mate in 2019, just wanting to spread our crazy chess love. The best part? Watching kids light up when they crack a new tactic. From those first shy moves in Whitefield to big wins—even our student Laasya bagged a trophy in California! Parents join in, too, starting their own FIDE journeys. Building this chess gang, seeing folks grow, running tournaments all over Bengaluru and beyond—man, it’s been wild. And trust me, we’re just warming up.

### My work
