The first is to introduce them the chessboard, chess pieces and general rules and movements of the elements. Next step:Once the kid is good in the first step, then the trainer has to introduce the kid with openings(necessary and useful opening with principles and ideas), middle games (like attack and defence, exploiting weakness etc.) and endgames(the area to be focused more for new ones or young ones).

I believe that it would, on an average, take 2-3 months for a kid to be ready for the advanced classes. Once he/she moves from beginner to advanced, he/she will be taught all the advanced ideas related to the game. This stage requires good dedication and practice on the part of the student. If all goes well, the student would, in another 4-5 months, be ready to take part in tournaments. The journey doesn't stop there. Once he/she gets a taste of tournament chess, the kid would be thrilled to keep improving further. From that point, the coach would play minimal role of guidance. read less

Time measure of Learning chess (compete for rules and movements of prices) is entirely based on the concentration levels of any individual(KID). It could be an hour or 30 hours, and also the quality of the teaching plays a vital role.

For Kid it will take take around 6 months to Learn up to certain level. For first 3 months it will take kid to learn basics properly and Next 3 months will take to Learn the Next Level. So after 6 months time Kid can be able to make it's Own Moves Properly

Ideally 3-5 months of chess Training weekly two-three classes. Also it depends upon the speed of the student how much he/she can grasp. Someone is really fast then 2 months is also fine.

Chess is a very complex game. For learning necessary skills like knowing about basic rules and moving chess pieces notations takes one month. It's tough to compare to IAS and GM as currently, India has 64GMs and 4500 IAS. It would help if you started at a very young age to become Grandmaster.
