There are 3 Beginner level stages:

1. Absolute beginner to learn piece movement
2. Lower beginner to be able to play without making any illegal moves
3. Upper beginner is the stage when players can recognize and play using patterns and can see threats and attacks.

All of these come under beginner curriculum that leads to a playing strength of 1100 on ChessKid. About 60 classes are needed to complete all of the above

We understand this legitimate concern. Our coaches are exactly trained to address this. Although it’s the nature of children to be vocal when they know something, we ensure every child is given due attention. It also helps boost the confidence for a child when they get appreciation among other children and over time they open up and talk.

We offer one free trial class to see if our format works for you, whether your child enjoys the class and they can understand the teaching. With just one class, not much can be learnt but children often need at least a few classes to pickup an interest.

Sticking consistently to a class schedule and encouraging the child to experiment on their own after the class, helps them to pick up interest. If you think, the course has value and want your child to learn, all they need is right environment and encouragement. So go ahead and enroll, if it is not working out, you can cancel anytime.
