Perfect! I highly recommend shyam sir ! The lessons are very clear, engaging, and easy to understand. He explains concepts patiently and makes sure I understand the reasoning behind every move rather than just memorizing them.
My understanding of chess has improved a lot since I started learning with him. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and adapts the lessons according to my level and learning style. If you’re looking for a chess teacher who genuinely cares about helping you improve, I would definitely recommend him!- The strength is the passion to improve his chess every class and for improvement he is playing too fast . This can be reduced and make use of allittted time.Shyam's response :

Shyam Sir has been more than just a chess coach to me. He has been someone who has genuinely helped me become more confident in the way I think, learn, and approach challenges.
What I really appreciate about him is his patience and the way he teaches. He never makes you feel bad for making mistakes. Instead, he helps you understand where you went wrong and encourages you to think about how you can do better next time. That has made a big difference in the way I approach chess.
His passion for the game is also very motivating. He makes every session interesting and pushes me to challenge myself while still making learning enjoyable.
I’m genuinely grateful to have had Shyam sir as my coach, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a coach who not only helps you improve at chess but also helps you build confidence along the way.
A Great Teacher Makes Every Move Meaningful!
A big thank you to Shyam Sir, an amazing chess teacher, for your patience, dedication, and guidance. Your lessons go beyond the chessboard-you teach children to think strategically, stay focused, be patient, and never give up.Shyam Sundar is an excellent teacher who is very patient, encouraging, and dedicated. He explains the concepts clearly and makes the classes interesting and engaging for children. I have noticed a positive change in my son’s understanding and interest in chess since he started learning with him.
He also motivates the children to think independently, improve their strategies, and learn from their mistakes. We are very happy with his teaching and guidance, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good chess coach.We are so grateful to have found Mr. Shyam Sundar as a chess coach for our 6-year-old son.
He has an amazing way of teaching such young kids — with so much patience, kindness, and playful techniques. He doesn't just teach moves, He teaches them how to think, focus, and be confident.
In just a few months, we have seen a huge improvement in our son's concentration, logical thinking, and interest in chess. He now eagerly waits for his chess class!
Mr. Shyam is very punctual, encouraging, and genuinely cares about each child's progress. He makes chess fun.
If you are looking for a wonderful chess coach for your child, especially for beginners, Mr. Shyam Sundar is the best choice. Thank you, Sir, for being such a positive guide!See more recommendations
