Families typically begin by enquiring about the appropriate level for their child — whether a complete beginner or a student with some existing chess knowledge — and confirming which holiday camp intake fits their schedule. Chess.sg offers camps at United Square, a convenient location near Newton MRT. Before committing to a full programme, it is worth asking whether a trial or introductory session is available, what the group size is, and how the curriculum is structured across the camp duration. Parents should also clarify the materials or equipment required, the age range catered to, and whether follow-on term-time classes are available after the holiday programme.
To take the next step, reach out to Chess.sg via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about upcoming holiday camp dates, available slots, and pricing before they fill.

Teacher Sebastian is really patient with the children and my kid is enjoying all his classes for the past year. The teachers are well trained, the administration is responsive. They run a tight ship in the limited space they have at Novena. They know what they are doing and how to get to the kids. Maybe chess really can be taught at 3!

Teacher Kevin is a gem! My child has been learning chess with Teacher Kevin at Three Chess Singapore, and the progress has been amazing. He’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and explains strategies in a way that’s fun and easy to grasp—even for young beginners. You can tell he truly cares about each student’s growth, not just as chess players but as thinkers. The sessions are always engaging, and my child looks forward to every class. Thank you, Teacher Kevin, for making chess such a meaningful and enjoyable journey!

We have two children attending this program. Chess at Three does an amazing job keeping kids engaged in the game with fun stories and variant games to keep things fresh for the kids while also teaching core chess knowledge. The staff not only knows their chess, but also know how to help kids learn universal values like handling loss, perseverance, thinking creatively/outside the box, and also how to get along well in groups during competitive play. My kids come away with actual tactical knowledge for real chess tournaments while also telling me stories about the different chess “characters” and what adventures they had during the class. In the past, we had gone to a traditional chess school (which was great!) but the kids could be engaged/disengaged depending on the day. With this program, the kids are always excited to go and view it as fun rather than a form of tutoring/homework. Creating a love for the game I think makes it more likely they will stick with it and become proficient with their skills. Plus they have a fun ‘Birchguard’ quest (separate from the chess lessons), which is like a role playing critical thinking adventure that the kids love. The camps and tournaments are also lots of fun. Highly recommended!

It is more of a storytelling class rather than chess. If you’re looking for your child to learn chess this is not the place, the coaches can barely play chess. If you’re looking for a very fun story telling session this is it, the coaches are really good at their craft at storytelling. I guess we didn’t read the fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Chess.sg charge per session?›
Chess.sg is priced at a mid-range level ($$), but specific camp fees are not published on the listing and will vary depending on the programme duration, number of sessions, and group size. Holiday camps are typically priced as a block rather than per individual session, so ask for the full camp fee upfront. When comparing options, check whether the fee covers any materials or equipment, and whether a sibling discount or early-bird rate applies. Confirm the cancellation and refund policy before payment, particularly for holiday camp bookings where dates are fixed. See the full Holiday Camps cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Chess.sg has not publicly specified a trial class policy, so it is worth asking directly whether an introductory or trial session is available before enrolling in a full holiday camp programme. A single session can help you gauge whether the teaching pace and style suit your child's level and temperament. When attending a trial or first class, observe how the coach explains concepts, how engaged the children are, and whether the group size allows for individual attention. Holiday camps tend to run on fixed schedules, so confirming fit before the camp begins avoids disappointment mid-programme.
What are the tutor's credentials?›
Specific coach credentials are not listed publicly for Chess.sg. When enquiring, it is reasonable to ask about the coaches' competitive chess background, formal coaching qualifications (such as FIDE trainer titles), and their experience teaching children at different skill levels. For a holiday camp context, also ask about the student-to-coach ratio, as this directly affects the quality of instruction each child receives. If your child has prior chess experience, confirm whether the camp content is streamed by ability or taught as a single mixed-level group.
