About Rishi
I am a FIDE rated chess player who has been coaching students across different skill levels for the past 4 years. I have worked with students from the USA, Brazil, Korea, Europe, Australia etc.. helping them identify and fix the specific patterns that are costing them rating points.
My background is in competitive chess.. I have played in FIDE rated tournaments and understand what it takes to improve at every level. But more importantly, I understand how to explain chess in a way that actually makes sense to improving players.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. Every student I work with gets a personalized analysis of their actual games.. not generic advice. This is what makes the difference between students who plateau for months and students who see real improvement within weeks.
This is also the reason I have got best chess coach awards in different academies I have worked with. So I am your one stop solution to all your chess problems.
I generally work with children who are serious, adult beginners, intermediate players, and anyone who feels stuck and wants a clear improvement plan. My sessions are conducted online and are available internationally.

I don't teach generic chess theory.. I analyze YOUR specific games and show you exactly what's costing you points.
Most coaches give every student the same curriculum. I look at your actual games, find the 3-4 patterns repeatedly costing you rating points, and fix those specifically. Nothing generic, nothing irrelevant.
My students have improved at least 200 ELO within just a few weeks, not even months.. using my very own specific system. This was possible not because I gave them theory to memorize, or some magical opening that will fix everything.. but because we fixed the exact mistakes showing up in their real games.
What I focus on:
1. Finding your specific losing patterns.
2. Building a consistent thinking process before every move.
3. Fixing decision making under pressure.
4. Converting winning positions instead of letting them slip.
5. Your improvement becomes my duty.
I am FIDE rated Chess Coach with over 4 years of experience and have worked with students from USA, Brazil, Korea and Europe.. from complete beginners to 1600+ online rated players.
First session is free - no commitment, no pressure. Feel the difference before deciding anything.

Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Clear explanations, practical advice, and very helpful for beginners especially for someone who is as old as me. I’ve improved my game after just a few sessions.
I got to know about Rishi through a friend. I was stuck around 700 for months. After working with him for 3 weeks, I crossed 900 for the first time. He helped me understand why I was losing winning positions and how to avoid simple blunders.
He didn't only tell me to do stuff but also told me the reasons and concepts behind it so that I can mold my strategy according to my position.
That made a big difference.I’ve worked with Rishi for a few sessions and what stood out is how quickly he identified my mistakes. I used to lose winning positions because of simple oversights, and he helped me fix that by improving my thought process. His teaching is very practical and easy to follow. Would recommend to anyone trying to improve fast.
My son started at around 400 and is now close to 700 after about 6 weeks of training with Rishi. We’ve also seen improvement in his concentration and patience during games.
