About Instructor

I grew up under the guidance of a Chess mentor of world class reputation and that is where I developed my interest in the game. I learnt the finer aspects of Chess from internationally renowned players and participated in several national level tournaments. As a player, the tactical play and end games are my greatest strength. I have been running Siddhachal Chess Academy from 2013 and continue to enjoy teaching children of all ages, and sharing my experience with them.
