Hi everyone, I’m an active player & a coach with a peak rating of 2230 FIDE Classical and 2290+ Rapid, current national player of my country. I’ve been coaching for 5+ years, working with players ranging from ambitious beginners to expert tournament players. Now, I’m accepting new students.

My structured, practical, tournament oriented coaching focuses on:

• Pawn structures (arising from different openings) & typical plans (piece exchange, typical pawn break & piece manoeuvres etc.)
• Strategic Concepts (General must known & specialized for openings and it's middlegames)
• Calculation Training
• Practical Endgames

The aim is to build strong understanding so one can approach tournament appropriate opening repertoire based on a mix of ideas and theory rather than solely memorising mindless course/comp-suggested variations.

Some of my recent student results:

• 1900 → 2100+ FIDE
• 1200 → 1600 FIDE
• 1600 → 1900+ FIDE
• Unrated → 1750+ FIDE as first rating

My personalised 1:1 sessions will offer:

• Finding out the weakness (after extensively analysing one’s games),
• Offering structured weekly training plans
• Game analysis & feedback
• Updated & reliable training materials (PGNs, books, videos)
• Sharing theoretical insights, building a practical repertoire

Session details:

• 1:1 online sessions (Discord / Google Meet)
• Between 25–30 USD per hour (depending on workload, timezone)
• Fluent in English, from South Asian timezone

If anyone is interested or has any questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks.
