About Our Academy & Expert Coaches
Unlike many academies that lock you into long-term contracts, we operate on a flexible monthly payment model. This keeps us accountable for your child’s actual progress each month and ensures that if their interest wanes or family schedules shift, you aren't stuck with large sums of money tied up in unused fees.
Since 2011, Chess Shoots has grown from a humble start in a parking lot to an established academy with over 7000 students. We take a different approach to chess coaching in Bengaluru. We do not believe in dry, repetitive lectures. Instead, our classes are designed as a gymnasium for the mind, focusing on the psychology of the game just as much as the moves.
Our instructors are active, FIDE-rated tournament players. This matters because they teach based on what is currently happening on the competitive circuit, not outdated strategies. Whether your child is a complete beginner learning how to place the pawns or an aspiring player preparing for state-level championships, they are getting guidance from someone who knows the pressure of the clock and the intensity of a real tournament environment.
We intentionally keep our batch sizes small to ensure every student receives individual correction. We utilize a hybrid teaching method, blending traditional board demonstrations with large-screen digital analysis to make complex tactics like pins, forks, and skewers easier to visualize. Our Jayanagar facility is built for focus, offering a clean, distraction-free environment that helps kids switch into 'chess mode' the moment they walk in.
