The class is very interactive and fun at Chess Challengers Club. Sandesh does an outstanding job managing the group while making sure everyone is occupied and learning at their skill level. My son has joined couple of months ago, and his skills have improved a lot. Best thing is there are Daily and Weekly tournaments which helped him in improving his game skills. I highly recommend Chess Challengers.

My son (8 years old) thoroughly enjoys Chess Challengers Club. It really helped him to improve his game strategies. He was among the Top 10 Finalists in London Junior Major Zoom Final Chess Tournament Under 12 and was invited to play in the British Chess Championship. Sandesh is an excellent Coach and he motivates his student. Sandesh makes learning an enjoyable experience. I recommend Chess Challengers Club for the early learners to advance players. Chess Challenger Weekly, Month-end Tournaments, 4 Nations Chess League for Juniors (J4NCL) are well organized. I would like to thank and wish Chess Challengers & Team for their efforts.

A truly outstanding club with attention to every pupil and regular tournaments ( few times a week). My son is looking forward to every lesson with Sandesh and he made a considerable progress since we joined! Sandesh is a great professional, we are happy to be part of the club. If you are looking for a chess club this is the right place from beginner to advanced players, children will be challenged enough!

I can't recommend enough the Chess Challengers Club, and especially Sandesh, for his dedication and hard work. My daughter, age 9, joined 7 months ago initially the Chess Club at school, which then changed to the Zoom lessons. She has learned from zero and in a very short time had a very good progress, being now quite a confident player. She now loves playing chess and would play online any time, joining different tournaments. Not to mention the children tournaments organised by the club for which Sandesh groups the children by having in mind their skills and level. You won't find a more dedicated Chess Coach for your child, always reviewing and analysing their games followed by providing them with suggestions to improve. Not to mention all the problem solving chess exercises he provides for the kids to solve. Highly recommend if you want your child to learn chess, get good at it and actually start loving it so much that it becomes a daily routine. Thank you Sandesh for all your dedication and hard work, you are truly passionate about it. Tatiana, mother of an addicted chess player now ;)

I highly recommend Chess Challengers as an excellent club, that my son has been enjoying so much attending in the past year. Mr Sandesh Tathare is a professional Chess Coach, who's dedication inspires his students to achieve their full potential.

I enrolled both my daughters at the club during lockdown and have been really pleased with the progress they have made. Sandesh is a fantastic chess teacher and he puts in huge effort to impart his knowledge to the students. He provides individual attention and encourages students to practice and participate in weekly tournaments. I can definitely recommend the club to those looking for chess lessons.

Sandesh is an excellent coach who makes chess educational as well as enjoyable. He reviews students games meticulously to see what his students are doing wrong and provides strategic guidance. Would definitely recommend to all levels of chess players

My 13 year old son has been coaching with Chess Challengers club for last 6 months. It is very well organised and managed. My son look forward to tournaments and specially coaching sessions with Sandesh. In a short span of time he learned a lot and played 99 tournaments with club, U.K. chess challenge and J4NCL challenges. It was a blessing during COVID lockdown. Chess is such an intense game that needs focus and interest. Keeping children’s in the game itself is big achievement I would say. For that we are thankful to Sandesh and his continuous encouragement and praise. Thank you Sandesh!

I really enjoy learning chess at the Chess Challengers Club. There are lots of different groups for the weekly tournaments and it really helps playing against people who are your level. I have improved lots by playing in these tournaments as it really helps in learning from my mistakes. The classes are really interesting too. We look at challenging positions that make you think outside the box to figure out the best move. Thanks for all your help Sandesh Sir and I would highly recommend this club - Neel Chandrasekar.

My 7 year old joined the club just over a year back and has come such a long way since then. He just qualified for a national championship final and coming from a family where no one plays chess, it talks a lot about this club and how much he has learnt. Sandesh is extremely dedicated and passionate about these classes and is constantly bringing in new ideas to make the game more fun, great learning and challenging. Daily tournaments to various competitions, he has so much to offer. Highly recommend his classes for any chess enthusiast or those venturing into chess.

My son is challenged and he really enjoys playing chess. I recommend this club. My son won Minor Plate U14 tournament thanks to Sandesh who gave him very good guidance!

"Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together" My 11 year son has been coaching with Chess Challengers for 6 months now. To be honest , I just wanted to try this one whilst the lock-down restrictions were in place and I was pleasantly surprised. It is run by Sandesh. I have tried other coaches including the one at his school chess club. What makes Sandesh standout is, a combination of his ability to interact with the kids and his passion for chess. Whether it is discussing the moves in a Halloween costume or discussing Vishwanathan Anand's move on his birthday he gets the kids to be part of it. Also his patience in responding to kid's questions has to be appreciated . Also , the weekly tournaments the kids play has been of great use. It runs thrice a week and is optional. And thanks for the reminder every time. I could see the difference in my son's interest and enthusiasm in chess. Some times he wins and sometimes he looses but the important thing is the interest. Please continue with your good work Sandesh. I'll finish with this quote from Bill Gates "Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids to work together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important."

Chess is something amazing !!! As an Indian proverb says, "it's a lake where a mosquito can drink or an elephant can swim". Since we knew playing chess is both fun and so good for mental health, we decided to let Mr.Sandesh teach our twins the fundamentals of chess, it's strategies and tactics. His passion for teaching is second to none, so, we can definitely recommend him as he has helped them both to develop and strengthen many aptitudes such as efficient planning, adapting to a situation, creativity, problem solving and concentration.

My 10 years old daughter joined the club when the lockdown started. She attended quite a few clubs before, so we knew what we were looking for. Sandesh’s professionalism and dedication was impressive. If your child is interested in chess - look no further! We wholeheartedly recommend the club.

My son has recently joined in Chess Challengers Club and I can see he has improved a lot because of training in this club. I really appreciate the hardwok of the coach Sandesh, its much appriciated. My Personal Thanks to the coach and the Club.

Both my sons are members of Chess Challengers Club and are performing exceptionally well under the guidance of Sandesh Sir. There are regular tournaments that are well planned and organised. They also participate in international tournaments like the Junior 4 nation's chess league (J4NCL). Thank you for your guidance!!

I joined this club in 2020 in the lockdown and it has been uphill from there in my chess. Sir is a very good teacher as he interacts with us students in our weekly lessons, Sir also gives us opportunities to play against other students and also go against different clubs. I would definitely recommend this club for any level of players.

My time at chess chalslengers has been really extrenely fun. The weekly tournaments are my favourite because they are fun with a touch of competitiveness. Also challenging puzzles are posted on the facebook page which we briefly discuss in the lessons. I have seen a huge improvement in my chess after starting this club in May 2020 during lockdown and I have also had a huge increase in my rating online, from 700 to roughly 1400/1500.Lessons are engagin and fun, with games between the class during the lesson sometimes.This club is fenomenal and I cannot reccomend it enough. :)

Good combination of classes (online due to Covid-19) and online tournaments. The daily online club tournaments have been great for the kids and they love playing with their friends and club members. Weekly tutor catch-ups also helpful. Puzzles to solve via FB and Instagram.

Chess challengers has really helped my kid excel increased his concentration levels. We can see a difference in his decision making too. Thanks

I have learnt a lot from this club and Sandesh sir always tries to make learning chess as fun as possible. The other day, for example, he gave us a puzzle and put up a 10 second rocket timer. Thanks for everything!

(Translated) I highly recommend Chess Challengers Club as a great chess club, which my son has enjoyed attending for the past year so much.
