The cost per semester of weekly online training with Vincent Riff is 700 CHF. There is no sibling discount due to limited places.
Children who have additional training with Chess4Kids benefit from a reduced rate of 450 CHF instead of 700 CHF.
For this weekly training, the children / parents are part of a Whatsapp group and receive weekly homework supervision, support with exercises, games, etc. by Vincent.
The price also includes biweekly online tournaments that Vincent organizes and accompanies.
Additional online trainings to prepare for events and tournaments can be arranged with the trainer and are not included in the price.
In case of occasional unforeseen absences of Vince, he provides a qualified replacement coach.

Starting in the winter semester, Vincent will be here for an additional week per month, offering advanced on-site training in each branch. The days and times will be communicated as needed.
