"We love My Chess Coach (previously My Chess Camp). My 6 year old started to show interest in chess a few months ago, and after searching to find a good class to continue his interest, we found My Chess Camp. It's been an amazing journey so far. My kid loves learning chess and spends quality time practicing his chess skills. We are thoroughly enjoying the unique ways the teacher engages my child while teaching chess online. We highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to start learning / advancing chess skills. Highly Recommend!!"

"The teachers and the teaching style is exceptional. I did not think that my daughter would like these classes but thought of giving it a try and they did not disappoint. Now we are in the Chess Intermediate course and my daughter wants to continue even further!"

— Interactive learning
Interactive online lessons — not passive screen time.
Coaches use online chessboards, puzzles and game analysis to explain ideas clearly. Students actively move pieces, solve positions and review games during the lesson.
— 1:1 coaching
Personal attention, at your child's pace.
In a 1:1 lesson, the Coach can focus on the positions, habits and concepts your child needs most. Lesson content and teaching style may vary by Coach and Student.
— ChessMania™
ChessMania™: the spelling bee of chess.
MyChessCoach runs welcoming online tournaments designed for newer and developing players. ChessMania helps Students practice under tournament conditions, stay motivated and become part of a larger chess community.
— Safety & communication
Parent-visible communication by design.
Families and Coaches communicate through the messaging feature on MyChessCoach. Coaches are contractually prohibited from contacting a Student or Family through personal email, telephone, text, WhatsApp, social media or another private channel.
- No private Coach–child communication
- Lesson and scheduling messages remain visible to the parent
- Parents can report a concern directly to MyChessCoach Support
Screening is one part of our safety process. Records available for background screening can vary by country and cannot guarantee future conduct.
