I would initially go through your last 3 tournament games and based on them, we will proceed forward with the coaching. For beginners/intermediate level players, the focus would primarily would be on calculation techniques and visualization (as they give immediate results). Then we will focus on positional play, strategy and endgames and finally touch upon openings/theory and how to prepare against opponents.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Siddharth.
Perfect! There's no shortage of chess "teachers" online, but you'll hardly find someone who not only knows the game deeply and objectively but also has personal results to back it up. So, I was really happy to stumble upon Siddharth, and even in a short span of time, I was able to expand my chess knowledge and ability exponentially! I'm impressed by his teaching approach, patience, systematic study plans, and perspectives on positional chess. Highly recommended for the average as well as the serious players!
