Ratings naturally fluctuate, so AlphaMind uses ratings as one progress signal alongside game quality, calculation, decision-making, consistency, and tournament performance. Player Path progress is reviewed approximately every 12 weeks, and a student can make meaningful progress while remaining in the same level.

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!

My son has been taking online chess classes with Aniketh, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. Aniketh is incredibly patient, encouraging, and takes the time to make sure my son understands the concepts and strategies rather than simply learning the moves. My son genuinely enjoys the classes and looks forward to learning new strategies. What I especially appreciate is that the learning goes beyond chess. Aniketh encourages him to think ahead, understand cause and effect, consider different possibilities, and recognize how one decision can influence what happens next. These are valuable thinking and problem-solving skills that translate into everyday life as well. It has been great to see my son become more thoughtful and strategic in his approach while also enjoying the game. I would highly recommend Aniketh to parents looking for a patient and engaging chess instructor for their child!

I have no words to thank Aniket, he is such a calm, polite and fun teacher, always replying to my emails so quick. Luca benefitted from his lessons for a short time, but he managed to achieve great results in the Toronto School Boards tournament. Aniket took the time to assess Luca's chess skills and advise where he has to focus and work in order to improve his game. Highly recommend Aniket's services.

Aniket is a phenomenal chess instructor. I am an adult learner and was a little be nervous to work with him because I'm really starting from scratch. He is so patient and kind and helpful. He has excellent teaching skills, crafting lessons targeted at exactly your level. He is clearly a brilliant chess player, but he never makes you feel dumb even if you ask stupid questions. He even goes out of his way to encourage students. For example, there was one time where I was feeling discouraged by my recent performance, but then applied what he taught me and did well and on several games in row. I emailed him to share my excitement and he immediately wrote back with enthusiasm, encouragement, and praise. Aniket is an exceptional chess instructor and I recommend him completely. I am so delighted to be working with him.

Aniket has helped me create a plan to improve my chess. I'm a ~1500 Elo player on chess.com and after one month working with AlphaMind I'm already seeing large improvements in my ability. As long as you're willing to put in the work, this coaching is absolutely worth it!

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!

My son Liam, 9yrs old had a wonderful experience with AlphaMind Chess Hub. The instructor took the time to understand Liam’s strengths and areas for improvement, and tailored each lesson to his needs. The scheduling was very flexible, which made it easy for our family, and every concept was explained clearly and patiently. Liam really enjoyed his lessons and made great progress. We truly appreciate all the support and highly recommend AlphaMind Chess Hub to any family looking for a great chess program.
