Chess Classes near Piplod, Surat

Piplod sits right beside Vesu, and Piplod families make up one of the largest groups at Surat Chess Club. Our classroom is on the first floor of Canal Walkk Shoppers on VIP Road, opposite L.P. Savani School — for most Piplod addresses that is a short drive, and for many an easy cycle or auto ride for an older child.

Getting to the club from Piplod

From the Piplod side, come along VIP Road towards L.P. Savani School; Canal Walkk Shoppers is directly opposite the school and the club is on the first floor. If you use Google Maps, search "Surat Chess Club" — the pin is on the door, not the building entrance. Google Maps puts the trip at 2.3 km, about 7 minutes by car via Florence Road or VIP Road in normal traffic. Parking is available outside.

Because Piplod is so close, weekday batches work well: children come straight after school to a 4:00–8:00 PM slot and are home for dinner. Weekend mornings are popular with families who prefer to keep school evenings free.

What Piplod families get at Surat Chess Club

A coach in the room

Rushi Shah, founder and FIDE-rated head coach, leads every Knight, Rook and Queen batch himself. Tournament players work with FM Jeet Jain (2312).

Ten published levels

Foundation, Development and Mastery — each with its own workbook, so you always know where your child is and what comes next. See the curriculum.

Real boards, small batches

Every session is over the board with a clock, in a batch small enough that the coach reaches every student during practice.

Kids and adults

Children from age four on the kids' programme; working adults and parents in the adults batch, Tuesday to Saturday 7:00–8:00 PM.

Chess classes near Piplod — questions

Is there a chess class in Piplod itself?
Our classroom is in Vesu on VIP Road, directly opposite L.P. Savani School — next door to Piplod rather than in it. Most Piplod families find the trip shorter than the school run. Book a free trial and test the commute for yourself.
Do many students come from Piplod?
Yes. Piplod is one of the five areas — with Vesu, Althan, City Light and Dumas Road — where most of our families live, and it has been that way since the club opened in 2016.
Which batch timing suits Piplod families?
Weekday after-school slots (Tuesday to Friday, 4:00–8:00 PM) are the most popular from Piplod because the trip is short. Saturday and Sunday morning batches are the alternative.
What are the fees?
The same published plans for everyone: Knight ₹4,999 (2 classes a week), Rook ₹6,999 (3 a week) and Queen ₹10,999 (every day, Tuesday to Saturday), each for three months, with 10% off for 6 months and 15% off for 12. King with FM Jeet Jain is ₹7,999 for three months (₹15,999 for both hours). Workbooks included. The first trial class is free.
