ChessDial is built by ChessBase India.

ChessBase India has spent years covering Indian chess — its players, its tournaments, and the coaches who quietly do the work behind both. Over and over, the same question came in: where do I find a good coach? ChessDial is our answer to it.

It is not a directory we scraped together. Every profile on it was submitted by the coach or academy themselves, and read by someone on our side before it went live.

What a listing here actually means

• Every listing is reviewed by a person

  No coach or academy appears on ChessDial automatically. A human reads the profile — credentials, fees, location — and approves it before any student can see it. Edits go back through the same queue.

• Identities are checked against government ID

  Coaches can send us a government ID, and we check the name on it matches the name on the profile. Those profiles carry a blue tick. It's a check on who they are — not a judgement on how they teach.

• Ratings come from real students

  A rating can only be left by someone who actually booked and completed a session through ChessDial. There is no way to post a review without that booking behind it.
