About ChessGum — Online Chess Academy for Kids ♟️

We started with one simple belief: every child deserves the joy of chess. Since 2020, we've been turning that belief into action — one young champion at a time.

Who We Are

Where Chess Meets Childhood Wonder ♟️

ChessGum was founded in 2020 with a simple but powerful idea: chess is one of the greatest tools for developing a child's mind — and it should be accessible, fun, and age-appropriate for every kid, even a 4-year-old.

What started as small batches of curious kids has grown into a thriving online academy with over 1,000 students, coaches across India, and young players competing in national and international tournaments.

We're not just a chess school. We're a community that believes in the power of strategic thinking, patience, and the joy of saying "checkmate!" for the very first time.

Our Mission

Three Pillars of Everything We Do 🎯

Every decision we make — from curriculum design to how we pick our coaches — is guided by these three core beliefs.

🎮

Fun First, Always

Learning should feel like play. Our curriculum uses stories, animations, puzzles, and games to make every session feel exciting — never like homework. A child who loves learning will always learn more.

🧠

Build Real Skills

Chess is our vehicle, but critical thinking, patience, and problem-solving are the destination. Parents consistently tell us their child's focus in school has improved dramatically after joining ChessGum.

🌱

Every Child Matters

We cap every class at 2 students maximum. No child gets left behind or overlooked. Every session, every coach, every feedback report is designed to make your child feel seen and celebrated.
