IM Arad Nazari

Hello everybody!
I'm International Master Arad Nazari from Persia (born 2004). (21 yo)
I'm an active player in tournaments worldwide (15+ countries, Masters sections) and coaching players from various levels and countries.
Feel free to contact me by sending a message on Lichess or Telegram @AradNazarooo

I've been playing chess for more than 15 years (since 2011)...

FIDE Master at age 13 | International Master at 17 | Now grinding for GM (FIDE 2418 classical)
Multiple Provincial/National/Asian Youth Championships & Medals | Regular member of Iran's Youth National Team

4 time 1st place in CaspianFestival (various categories)
1st place Rajaei Cup 2018
2nd place Arsen Yedigiryan Memorial 2021
3rd place Andranik Margaryan Memorial 2025

Strong performances in tournaments: Beat GMs, drew top players, been unlucky with GM norm opportunities (missing by few elo points in several events)

3 years of coaching experience (since 2023).

I've worked with players from beginner to advanced (up to 2200+), helping them boost ratings, win local tournaments, and prepare for competitions.
I've also served as second to several grandmasters, assisting with tournament preparation and deep analysis.
My students have seen massive improvements through targeted training.

I collaborate with the chess content page Chess_Ranj (Instagram: @chess_ranj) for producing educational content, analysis, and streaming tournaments ♟ – daily puzzles, strategies, tips from beginner to pro!
