Chess A2Z 2026 Spring Training Program

We’re excited to launch our 2026 Spring Training Program starting the first week of April! This spring, Chess A2Z will offer training options for players at every stage of development, including:

  • Level 2 (USCF rating 200–500)
  • Level 3 (USCF rating 500–800)
  • Level 4 (USCF rating 700–1000)
  • Elite (USCF rating 1000+)

Each level is capped at 12 students so coaches can give every player individual attention. The approximate rating range for each level is for reference only. If you believe you’re ready for the next level, please email us. We’re happy to do an evaluation and adjust placement based on readiness and spot availability. Our coaching team is made up of elite competitive players with years of teaching experience, combining high-level chess understanding with a proven ability to work effectively with students:

  • Level 2: Karthik Bimod, Neha Narendran
  • Level 3: NM Austin Liu
  • Level 4: WGM Zoey Tang, NM Austin Tang
  • Elite: IM Ming Lu
  • Office hours: NM Yu-Cheng Liang, NM Ryan Min, Saahil Gupta

What sets our program apart is a structured, level-specific curriculum, weekly graded homework, dedicated office hour support to help students review concepts and assignments, and a thoughtful, long-term approach to chess improvement. We look forward to welcoming players to our spring training session.
