The Chesslete Method

Building Confidence, Focus, and Critical Thinking Through Engaging Chess Lessons

The Chesslete Method
At Chesslete, we believe every player is unique—and their training should be too. That’s why we developed The Chesslete Method, a clear, five-category framework for evaluating your chess skills and building a personalized training plan.

We assess players in:

  • Opening Fundamentals — Understanding opening principles and building a solid foundation for every game.
  • Tactics — Sharpening your ability to spot and execute winning combinations.
  • Positional & Strategic Play — Learning where pieces belong and how to steer the game toward favorable positions.
  • Endgames — Mastering essential techniques to convert advantages and save difficult positions.
  • Mindset — Developing the resilience, focus, and growth-oriented attitude that benefits both chess and life.


Unlike cookie-cutter programs with fixed paths, our evaluation is personalized. Each category is rated on a 1–5 scale relative to your peers, not grandmaster standards. A Level 5 means you’re strong for your competitive group—not that your chess journey is over.

With this detailed profile, we focus your training on what matters most for your growth, eliminating wasted time and accelerating progress.

Unlock Your Chess Potential

Welcome to Chesslete!


Hello! I’m Coach Bhavik the head coach at Chesslete, your chess coach and strategist, here to help you take your game to the next level. With a passion for principled, attacking chess, I’ve been honing my skills since 2021—competing both in over-the-board tournaments and online. At Chesslete, we have a team of passionate coaches dedicated to helping players of all ages and levels reach their full potential.


My Background

  • 3 years of teaching experience with players of all levels — from adult improvers and tournament competitors to kids just learning the game


The Chesslete Method
We don’t believe in a cookie-cutter leveling system. Instead, we break chess into five core skill categories:

  • Tactics
  • Opening Principles & Fundamentals
  • Positional & Strategic Skills
  • Endgames
  • Mindset


Each category is personally evaluated and rated from 1 to 5 — not by grandmaster standards, but relative to your peer group. A “Level 5” means you’re performing well for your level, not that you’ve mastered chess entirely.

From this evaluation, we create a custom training plan tailored to your needs, ensuring focused improvement where it matters most.

Join us at Chesslete if you’re ready to sharpen your skills, strengthen your strategy, and play with confidence.
