About Chess Academy Singapore
Chess Academy Singapore is an education provider offering holiday camps, based at 865 Mountbatten Rd and operating islandwide. The listing has been verified by KakiList, and the business is registered with ACRA. It holds a 3.8/5 rating across 14 Google reviews — a small sample, so treat this as directional rather than conclusive.
Families typically begin by enquiring whether the holiday camp is appropriate for their child's current level — complete beginner, casual club player, or competitive — and whether the programme follows any recognised syllabus or rating system such as FIDE. It is worth confirming the format (group sessions versus small-group intensive), the age range catered to, the instructor's competitive or coaching background, and whether any materials or equipment are included in the camp fee. Islandwide coverage suggests multiple venue options or off-site programmes, so confirming the exact location and dates relevant to your school holiday window is advisable before registering.
To take the next step, contact Chess Academy Singapore via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about upcoming holiday camp schedules, available slots for your child's age group and level, and whether a trial or taster session is offered before full enrolment.

Store is supposed to be open till 8pm. I went down to make a purchase at 4pm & the store was closed. Called the store hotline & the guy said the employee just decided to close early. Wasted my time. Buy your chess necessities elsewhere.

The place is small, serving as a training and club, and while the variety of goods is limited, the brands are all world-class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Chess Academy Singapore charge per session?›
Chess Academy Singapore is listed at a '$$' price point, but specific per-session or per-camp fees are not publicly disclosed. Holiday camp pricing in Singapore typically varies by duration (half-day, full-day, or multi-day), group size, and instructor level. You should confirm the total camp fee upfront, and ask whether it includes any materials, equipment loan, or grading assessment. It is also worth checking whether a sibling discount or early-bird rate applies, and whether the fee is refundable if your child is unwell and cannot attend. See the full Holiday Camps cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Chess Academy Singapore has not published a specific trial class policy, so it is advisable to ask directly via WhatsApp or phone before registering for a full camp. When evaluating fit, look at whether the session pace matches your child's current ability, whether the coach explains concepts clearly to the relevant age group, and whether your child is engaged throughout. For a holiday camp format, some providers offer a single-day taster at a reduced rate rather than a full multi-day commitment. Confirming this option — and the refund policy if the programme is not the right fit — before payment is a sensible precaution.
What are the instructors' credentials at Chess Academy Singapore?›
No specific instructor credentials have been provided in the listing. When enquiring, it is reasonable to ask whether the coaches hold FIDE ratings or national chess federation accreditation, how many years of coaching experience they have, and whether they have prior experience working with children in the relevant age group. For a holiday camp specifically aimed at younger or beginner players, teaching style and patience matter as much as competitive rank. If Chess Academy Singapore cannot provide this information directly, that is itself useful information when making your decision.
