Superior Chess Academy is a live online chess coaching academy based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The free trial is how most students start here: one real lesson with a real coach, before choosing a format.
The academy's numbers so far: 1,000+ students trained, 30,000+ live coaching hours, 20+ countries reached, 100+ medals and trophies, 100+ tournaments conducted, and 50,000+ puzzles solved.
What the free trial is
A real class. The coach meets the student online, checks their level with a few positions and a short game, teaches something useful immediately, and suggests the right batch. No card is required and there is no obligation.
It is a live, interactive class with a real coach — not a pre-recorded video. The student joins from home on ChessLang, our chess classroom platform, and learns in the same way regular students do.
Who the trial is for
Trials are open to students aged 5 and above, including adult beginners. Children, teenagers and adults all take the trial, including complete beginners.
What happens in the trial
The coach meets the student online, checks their level with a few positions and a short game, teaches something useful immediately, and suggests the right batch.
Lessons follow our five-level curriculum: Checkmates, Winning Material, Mastering Defensive Technique, Sacrifice to Win, and Finding Winning Moves. The free trial class helps the coach find the right starting level for the student.
From first message to first lesson, step by step
Starting is simple, and the trial itself is a real lesson:
- Message us on WhatsApp at +91 84015 33777 with the student's age, country and current level.
- We suggest a suitable group and time for the free trial class.
- Join the trial — a real 50–60 minute lesson on ChessLang, with a FIDE-rated coach.
- After the trial, the coach shares honest feedback on the student's level and which format would suit them best.
- Choose a format — group classes of 8–10, semi-private coaching of 3–4, or one-to-one — and start regular lessons. If a class is missed later, take a live makeup in another batch.
What the first month after the trial looks like
Take a 7-year-old beginner who joins after the trial. The first lessons teach how the pieces move and how checkmate works, through mini-games with a few pieces and puzzles matched to the class. Lessons run 50–60 minutes, typically twice a week in group and semi-private formats, live on ChessLang. Between lessons, the student works through practice puzzles, and the coach reviews the student's games during the lesson. The coach shares honest feedback with the parents, so you always know what your child is working on and why.

What happens after the trial
After the trial, the coach shares honest feedback on the student's level and which format would suit them best. Students then choose one of three formats. The coaching, curriculum and lesson length are the same in all three — what changes is the group size and the timetable.
| Format | Students | Timetable | Lesson length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group classes | Maximum 8 to 10 students | Fixed timetable, 8 sessions a month | 50–60 minutes |
| Semi-private coaching | Maximum 3 to 4 students | Fixed timetable, 8 sessions a month | 50–60 minutes |
| One-to-one coaching | One student | Flexible — arranged with the coach | 50–60 minutes |
Group classes suit students who enjoy learning with others on a regular weekly routine. Students who want more coach attention in a smaller group usually choose semi-private, and students who want the lesson time to flex around them usually choose one-to-one. If you are unsure which format fits, read our private vs group chess classes comparison, or tell us the student's age, country and current level on WhatsApp and we will suggest one.
