About Summer Chess Camps
Why Our Summer Camp Feels Different
I get that summer can slip by in a blur of screens and boredom. At Chess Shoots, we flip that script. The camp is a proper brain workout - not some dry lecture. Kids aged 6 to 14 jump in, whether they’re total newbies or have played a few matches. I keep batches small, so every kid gets real attention from our FIDE-rated coaches.
What Your Kid Actually Learns
We keep it simple, fun, and packed with action:
- Basic chess moves and notations, so even beginners can follow along.
- Opening tricks to help kids start games with confidence.
- Tactics like pins and forks that make games exciting.
- Playing with the chess clock, learning to manage time under pressure.
- Endgames and strategies, plus a bunch of tips that stick.
How We Set Up the Camp
No marathon sessions - just enough to keep kids hooked:
- 20 hours of interactive chess classes for children, split across 2 weeks.
- Classes run Monday to Friday. Weekends? Chill and practice.
- Two slots: Morning (10:30 am - 12:30 pm) or Afternoon (2:00 pm - 4:00 pm).
Making It Real
At the end, every kid jumps into our internal kids chess tournament summer. Win or lose, everyone gets a certificate. That way, they actually see how far they’ve come. Honestly, it’s about building confidence one match at a time.

My Story
Chess Shoots started in 2011 with just one goal - give kids a fair shot at the chess board, no big upfront fees, no boring classes. We’ve seen tiny pawns turn into queens, 7000+ students, 200+ medals, and Jayaram sir always reminding us - discipline matters but fun does too. Parents say joining us was a ‘very good decision’ and that’s our real trophy. For us, it’s about building a community, not just collecting cups.
