Raghunandan

Hello! I am 23 year old International Master Raghunandan KS from India. I have 1 GM Norm and a FIDE rating of 2441. I offer lessons and can help players in the rating range of 1500 to 2400.

About me:
I started learning chess in 2008 when I was around 7.5 years old and got my initial FIDE rating of 1431 in 2009 at the age of 8. I reached the rating of 1991 in less than 2.5 years and became an IM in 2016 at the age of 14 years and 12 months. I have won medals in Asian Youth, World Youth and Asian Junior Championships.

Teaching experience:
Having worked with a wide variety of students, I have gained extensive experience in using different teaching methods, so I can adapt my teaching approach to the individual needs and preferences of the specific student. I am not actively playing in tournaments at the moment so I am available for regular sessions.

Teaching methodology:
First I will look at your recent games. If you have not played any games recently, I will give you a set of positions to solve and ask you to speak aloud your thought process. This will help me clearly evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Once that's done we will work on Middlegames and Endgames with a specific focus on fixing your weaknesses. I will also tell you exactly "how" and "what" you should work on in order to improve quickly. Homework is regularly assigned to the student. I also provide text support outside of classes.

Best skills:
Tactics, deep calculation, endgames, positional play, deep analysis of games. I consider myself to be really good at explaining chess.

Rates and Contact Information:

I charge ₹16000 for 8 hours.
