Today is a historic day for our 9 year old since he beat his dad in chess, all thanks to Aniket. We feel very fortunate to have found Aniket. Our son is not only improving nicely, he also has a great time during the lessons which are his favorite activity now. Aniket is understanding, supportive and fun! We also receive a detailed report card from him every month so we follow our son's progress closely. Thanks Aniket!

I moved up more than 200 points in less than 8 weeks with Aniket from AlphaMind. This is a no brainer.

Aniket is a fantastic chess coach. He's helped both myself and my son improve at chess. My son enjoys learning through playing against Aniket while getting feedback and I really appreciate Aniket's ability to give me structured improvements based on what he sees in my games. Highly recommend!
