Finding a chess coach usually relies on word of mouth or WhatsApp forwards. ChessDial by ChessBase India provides a structured directory where you can search for coaches by location, language, skill level, or preference for online vs. in-person lessons. Over 100 verified coaches and academies - from Grandmasters to beginner instructors are currently listed with transparent pricing. Listings are free for coaches!

For years the same question has reached ChessBase India more often than almost any other: where do I find a good coach? Not a famous one, not a cheap one - the right one, for the level you are actually at, in a language you speak, at an hour you are actually free. ChessDial is our answer to it. It is a directory of chess coaches and academies, built and run by ChessBase India, where every listing has been read by a person before it went live and every rating was left by a student who actually booked a session. It is open now at coach.chessbase.in , it is free for coaches and academies to join, and there are already more than 45 listings on it. Here is the full tour - for students who are looking, and for coaches who want to be found.
