Achievements

Our kids show up to real tournaments — and bring home medals.

The point isn't the silverware. It's the moment a kid realises they belong in a room full of stronger players. The medals just confirm what we already knew.

First time competing?

Here's how Kheminda gets your child ready.

Tournaments scare most kids the first time. We start small — and only when they're ready.

01

Class tournaments first

Every class includes a short practice tournament with proper clocks and pairing sheets. Kids learn the format before it counts.

02

Beginner-friendly events

When they're ready for an outside event, we pick low-pressure rapid tournaments where losing isn't the end of the world.

03

The big stages

Only once kids want it. Victorian Interschool, regional finals — Kheminda handles the entries and parents handle the snacks.
