We recently used CircleChess services for our 1st VKCF Rapid Rating Chess Tournament held in Thane and had a very smooth experience. The team was supportive, professional, and responsive throughout the process. From registrations to tournament management and player coordination, everything was handled efficiently. Their platform made the overall experience much more organized and convenient for both organizers and players. We used Circlechess for prize money payouts as well, we are extremly delighted with the colab with Circlechess. Special mention Mr. Banshu, he is a complete gem of person, was available constantly for all sorts of the queries, he handled each query very patiently, and resolved them in no time. Highly recommended for chess tournament organizers looking for reliable tournament support services. Looking forward to working together again!

Our daughter recently joined for beginner level of chess @Circle chess of school. The coach Sachin Kalpande sir coached very well. And he gave same opportunity for every student of the group. Our child improved more. So we want her to continue for foundation level 1 although it is heavy fee for us. Our daughter Khushi V Lakkanagoudar completed foundation 1 and wanted to take enroll for foundation 2 @ same batch and same coach (Sachin Kalpande sir.) Circle chess is the best platform to prepare best chess players with personal care and clarity.

I highly recommend Coach Aamir for chess coaching. His structured lessons have significantly enhanced my skills in openings, tactics, and endgame strategies. Patient and insightful, he tailors instruction effectively, leading to rapid progress and greater enjoyment of the game.—Yuvan
