If your child is passionate about chess, SCF is the place to be. The coaching team , including the wonderful FM Thanda, IM Enrique, Coach Alex, WGM Sasha, GM Andre, GM Luther a is world-class and deeply committed to nurturing young talent. You can tell they genuinely care about each student's progress. The other staffs (Chee Shun, Carleton, Yang Li ,Siew Ting and Pei Voon) are also very supportive and makes getting information easy for new parents. It’s been a fantastic experience seeing the clear path they set for their students. Thank you SCF, looking forward to grow!

I absolutely love SCF! I have been training there for a more than a year, and the coaches have been nothing short of amazing. Shout-out to Coach Alex and Coach Enrique. Highly recommend this place if you need serious training, or just want to learn a new game! Keep it up and Thank You to SCF!!

Can't understand the purpose of the SCF. Assume it's to develop potential and interest at chess for youths. Child went for evaluation, comments given were "Chess Blind"..... Attitude was bad throughout... Won't recommend anyone to go there. Probably Learn more from YouTube than the likes of the instructors there..

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Singapore Chess Federation charge per session?›
Singapore Chess Federation indicates a S$$ price tier, but specific per-session, monthly package, or term fee figures are not published in the listing. Pricing for chess enrichment in Singapore typically varies by class format — group sessions are generally more affordable than one-to-one coaching, and term-based packages often work out cheaper per session than drop-in rates. It is worth asking whether a trial class fee applies separately and whether discounts are available for siblings or multi-term commitments. Materials such as chess sets or workbooks may carry an additional charge. Contact Singapore Chess Federation directly to obtain a current fee schedule before committing. See the full enrichment classes cost guide for Singapore →
Can I try a class before committing?›
Many chess enrichment providers in Singapore offer a trial class, sometimes at a reduced rate or included in the first term's fee, though policies vary. A trial session is a useful opportunity to assess whether the pace and teaching style suit your child's experience level, whether the group size allows adequate attention from the coach, and whether your child's engagement and enjoyment are sufficient to sustain a term commitment. When attending a trial, observe how the coach handles beginners versus more advanced students and whether the session has a clear structure. Contact Singapore Chess Federation directly to confirm their trial class policy and what the session covers.
What are the coaches' credentials at Singapore Chess Federation?›
Singapore Chess Federation is the national body governing chess in Singapore and typically fields coaches with competitive playing credentials, including FIDE ratings, as well as experience coaching students for scholastic and national tournaments. Specific coach profiles, qualifications, and years of teaching experience are not listed here and should be confirmed directly with the federation. When enquiring, it is reasonable to ask which coach will take your child's class, their playing and coaching background, and whether the programme aligns with any competitive pathway such as school team selection or national junior championships.
