"Chess isn't just a game; it's a way of life. Its intricate strategies mirror the complexities of existence, teaching patience, foresight, and resilience. In chess, every move counts, just like in life, where decisions shape our paths. The game demands discipline and dedication, traits essential for success in any endeavour." - Arpita Das

Her attentiveness during classes is commendable, making her a joy to teach.

The Knight Chess Academy is truly the best place for children to learn chess in Kolkata, India. As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the progress my son, Zayan Azmaan, Sydney, Australia, has made since joining this academy online . The improvement in his strategic thinking, concentration, and confidence is remarkable.
The chess coache Bipra Sir here are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. He understands how to teach my son Zayan Azmaan in a way that keeps him engaged, motivated, and excited to learn. The academy maintains a perfect balance between fun and discipline, helping my son enjoy the game while steadily advancing their skills. My son Zayan learning Chess online last 5 months with coach/ Teacher Bipra Sir.
What I appreciate most is the structured training program, regular practice sessions, and personal attention each student receives. The environment is friendly, supportive, and ideal for young learners. Zayan looks forward to every class, and as a parent, that speaks volumes.

Both of my kids are students of teacher Bidisha. She is excellent with kids, very soft spoken, intelligent , has lot of knowledge on what she is teaching. My kids eagerly wait for chess class every week. If you can’t make for the class, the chess academy always offers you a make up class . I would highly recommend this chess academy to any of the kids who are interested in learning and playing chess.
Very good institute to learn Chess, teachers are quite knowledgeable and have methodical/systematic approach for developing the students in the game of Chess. The students here have won numerous accolades at District, State and National Level tournaments. My kid has drastically improved in just 3 months since he joined here and has consistently been in the Top 10 finishes in the competitions he has been participating for the last few months including Fide Rated tournaments. Thanks to the sincere efforts of 'The Knight Chess Academy'
My son has been learning chess here since last year. I am really pleased with the quality and dedication of all faculties.
To be very frank, when my son started, he did not have any interest and linking for chess, and he used to skip classes a lot. It's all because of Shonkalan Sir and Ashmita Mam's dedication, that now he eagerly waits for his class.
I strongly recommend Knight Chess Academy for those who want to learn to play chess.
I was referred by my elder sister from Ontario, so glad to find the home branch in my city.
The BEST chess coaching in Kolkata, feels amazing to have found this quality in Kolkata.
I am very happy to get 1st hand international standard training.
My daughter has been attending KCA for about 6 months now. It's an excellent place for kids with plethora of opportunities opening up to pursue their dreams of being a chess master. I am extremely happy with the way my kid is improving day by day and is eager to attend the classes and has developed an intense interest in this particular game.
Coaches are highly skilled and childfriendly and provide attention to each and every kid and ignite imagination of children in chess and bring out the best.
Here classes are lively and kids are fully involved. Several kids regularly win chess tournaments, bringing admiration,honour and praise to themselves and their Coaches and continue to bask in the glory of their success.
Would like to thank Miss Asmita and her team for their patience, professionalism and determination that makes the place stands out from the rest.
Excellent work KCA. Keep up the good work.
This is an amazing place for learning Chess.
My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves it and I am just amazed by the amount of interest she has developed in the game in just a months time. The coaches are very well trained and focus on the students personally. I am glad we chose the Knight Chess Academy for my daughter
We are based in USA and we enrolled our 6yr old son to 1on1 virtual lessons (beginners level) with Ms Asmita in 2023. It's 2024 and our son has moved up to virtual group lessons. All Lessons are very well structured and teachers are very knowledgable.
Very nicely organised tournament, one of the best venues (Swami Vivekananda Institute of Technology, Sonarpur). Looking forward to many more such rated tournaments there. Keep up the good work 👍
