Every Sunday, 2:00–4:00 PM, beginning September 13, 2026. No classes on school or federal holidays.
Coached online tournaments every Saturday, 10:00 AM–1:00 PM (19 over the season), plus 2 in-person events — a mid-season tournament and a season finale (each 2:00–6:00 PM).
In-Person Classes at Dulles South Senior Center, Chantilly, VA. Small-group instruction.
Kings Indian Chess is a community program led by US National Master David Bennett. Private coaching of this caliber typically runs $90–$120 an hour — we keep our fees a small fraction of that on purpose, so cost is never a barrier for a child who wants to learn. It's outstanding value, not a compromise.
Not sure of the right level? New players start in Beginner; experienced players can take an optional skill assessment to be placed correctly (assessments are for new registrations only). Staying in touch: families receive weekly email updates and join a WhatsApp group for their child's year group.
