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.
A selection of recent wins from Oz Chess Kids students at school and regional events.
Events Oz Chess Kids students typically compete in — handpicked by Kheminda. Talk to him about which fits your child.
Tournaments scare most kids the first time. We start small — and only when they're ready.
Every class includes a short practice tournament with proper clocks and pairing sheets. Kids learn the format before it counts.
When they're ready for an outside event, we pick low-pressure rapid tournaments where losing isn't the end of the world.
Only once kids want it. Victorian Interschool, regional finals — Kheminda handles the entries and parents handle the snacks.
