Beginner-Friendly Chess Coaching by a FIDE-Rated Player & Experienced Tutor with 25 years of playing experience and 5 years of coaching experience

I came across Karthik while looking for a chess coach as a complete beginner. I barely knew how the pieces moved when we first started. Karthik is an incredibly patient and encouraging teacher. He never makes you feel rushed or embarrassed for not knowing something, which made a huge difference for me as someone starting from absolute zero. He has a wonderful way of breaking down complex ideas into simple, digestible steps. I was solving tactics and learning mating patterns that I never imagined I'd be able to spot on my own.

What makes Karthik stand out as a great tutor is his passion for chess and his genuine care for his students' progress. He doesn't just teach moves , he teaches you how to think. His lessons are engaging, well-organised, and always tailored to your level and pace.

I look forward to every class and plan to continue learning with him. If you're a beginner looking for a coach who will make chess both fun and educational, I wholeheartedly recommend Karthik.

I found Karthik about a year ago when I was a complete beginner with very little knowledge of chess. From our first session, he made learning fun and engaging.

What I appreciate most is his patience and structured teaching style. He takes the time to explain concepts clearly and analyzes each game with me, helping me understand my mistakes so I can avoid them in future games.

Over the past year, I've not only improved my chess skills but also learned to think ahead and stay calm under pressure.

If you're looking for a patient, knowledgeable coach who genuinely cares about your progress, I highly recommend Karthik.
