The region hosted national age-group championships, the National Under-9 in Gurugram (June 2025) and the National Sub-Junior in Ghaziabad (November 2025). And 6 Delhi NCR events were for players below 1800, the kind of event that suits a child's first rated games.

What it means for your child
With rated events most months, the question for a Delhi NCR child isn't whether they can play rated chess but when they're ready to. Rated games are played on a board with a clock, against opponents who know their openings.
We prepare children for that step: the clock, writing the moves down, and the openings they'll meet over the board. Our free report on your child's online games shows where to start.
