Kids learn fast — and love it
My 10-year-old started as a complete beginner, and the progress has been amazing. The coach explains things clearly, keeps lessons engaging, and gives simple homework we can actually follow. I love that my child is learning focus, patience, and confidence — not just chess moves.

Structured training after work
After work, I needed a structured way to improve without wasting time. The lessons are practical, the feedback is specific, and the small-group format keeps me motivated. Game reviews helped me spot the same mistakes I kept repeating — and my results in rapid games improved quickly.

A great comeback to chess
I returned to chess after 20 years and wasn’t sure where to begin. White Knight made it comfortable and enjoyable from the first lesson. The pace is friendly, the coach is patient, and I feel my thinking is sharper again. It’s a great routine — learning, playing, and improving step by step.
