About me

21-year-old International Master from India.

Currently accepting limited number of students.
I also conduct small, structured group training sessions for players of similar levels focused on interactive analysis.
.

Playing experience

I have been playing chess for over 15 years. Former Indian Under-7 National Champion 2011. Best win against GM Sandro Mareco (2657). Strong performances in international open tournaments, including the Fujairah Global Chess Championship (Masters) 2025.

Teaching experience

Over a year of teaching experience

Best skills

Deep knowledge of specific opening systems ,Positional understanding and Practical decision-making

Teaching methodology

The student needs to send me some of their recent tournament games, and I will identify their weaknesses and work on addressing them. My special focus will be on making the student a skilled practical player and helping them build a flexible opening repertoire based on understanding rather than rote memorization—both of which are essential for success in modern chess, in my view.
