Terms & refunds

Last updated 9 October 2026

These terms apply to Chess at School, Chess with FM Ryan Harper, one-on-one coaching and the team championships run by Jumbo Chess Ltd (Jumbo Chess Academy).

Registration and fees

A registration is a request for a place, confirmed when we contact you. The fee for Chess at School, Chess with FM Ryan Harper and the international schools is set by your child's school, shown on the registration form, and covers one school term of 3 months. FM Ryan Harper's online group classes are paid by the month. One-on-one coaching is arranged and paid directly with your coach, from TT$150 per 1-hour session.

Payment

Pay online by card, by bank transfer or online banking, or in cash at school. Card payments add TT$5 for the bank's card fee. Bank transfers have no card fee. The bank details are on the registration and payment pages: FM Ryan Harper's schools and classes pay into his own account.

Sessions and make-ups

We try our best to cover 10 sessions a term. Holidays and school events sometimes cancel a session, and we can't always fit in a make-up. If a coach misses a session, we will always organise a make-up, even with a different coach.

Championships

Team entries are TT$100 per player. Teams must check in between 8:30 and 9:20 am; teams not checked in by 9:40 am miss the first round.

Refunds and questions

For a question about a payment or a refund, call 868-730-4019 or 868-475-7184, or email jumbochesstt@gmail.com.

Conduct

Every game starts and ends with a handshake. We expect respect from players, parents and coaches alike.
