Questions about timings
What time are Darklight Chess Academy online classes?
Timings are flexible. We schedule around the student's school day and time zone, and confirm the slot when you book the free demo class.
Do you have weekend classes?
Yes, weekend sessions are available alongside weekday after-school slots, subject to coach availability.
Do class times change when clocks change?
India does not change its clocks, so for countries that do (UK, Europe, US, Canada) the gap to India shifts by one hour. We agree the slot in your local time and keep it there.
