Chess Coach
Certified Chess Coach | International FIDE Rated Player | Arena FIDE Master | Senior National Arbiter
Chess is more than a game for me—it’s a journey of strategy, discipline, and discovery. With over a decade of experience on and off the board, I’ve transformed my passion into a career that blends competitive excellence and mentorship.
As a FIDE-rated player (ID: 25121510), FA norm holder, and Arena FIDE Master, I’ve battled in national arenas, earned the prestigious University Blue Champion title twice, and even stood at the heart of the 2022 World Chess Olympiad as a Senior National Arbiter, ensuring fair play at one of the grandest stages of chess.
Coaching is where my heart truly lies. Whether online or offline, I bring life to every session using tools like ChessBase, Lichess, Zoom, and Google Meet. My lessons are not just about moves and tactics—they’re about igniting a love for the game, sharpening minds, and building future champions.
As a tournament organizer, I’ve orchestrated events that inspire, and as a polyglot fluent in English, Kannada, and Hindi, I bridge cultures to connect with chess enthusiasts worldwide.
If you’re looking for a dedicated professional to help craft winning strategies—whether in competition, coaching, or organizing—I’m ready to join your team. Together, let’s make every move count!
