About Sanket
I started playing chess at the age of 4 and have been actively competing for over 16 years. Throughout my career, I have balanced competitive chess with academics, both of which I consider important.
During my youth, I regularly competed against some of India's strongest talents, including future elite grandmasters such as R Praggnanandhaa, D Gukesh, and Nihal Sarin in national age-group events.
Some notable achievements include:
Tournament Results
Norway Open Blitz 2025 – Champion
44th Indian National Team Chess Championship 2025 – Silver Medal
Asian Club Chess Champions League – Team Bronze Medal, Individual Silver Medal (Board 5)
18th Plancoët International Open 2025 – Joint Champion (Runner-up on tiebreaks)
2nd Orchies International Chess 2026 - Champion
Notable Games
My highest-rated victory came against Levan Pantsulaia (2597) during Chennai Grandmasters 2020. I have also scored wins and draws against several other 2500+ rated players throughout my career.
Outside chess, I enjoy traveling, exploring new countries, and experiencing different cultures and adventures.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering from Jadavpur University, and planning to pursue a PhD in the future.

Hello everyone!
I am International Master Sanket Chakravarty, and I offer both training sessions and practice sessions for serious chess players looking to improve their game.
Teaching Methodology:
Step 1: Assessment
Before starting, I will ask you to send games from your last three tournaments.
During the first two classes, I will:
Analyze your games in detail
Identify recurring mistakes and weaknesses
Evaluate your strengths, style, and thought process
Create a personalized improvement plan
Step 2: Structured Improvement
Once the key weaknesses have been identified, future classes will focus on:
Positional understanding
Calculation and visualization
Decision-making
Middlegame planning
Practical tournament skills
Endgame fundamentals and technique
Step 3: Homework & Training
Students will receive carefully selected homework assignments designed to reinforce the concepts discussed during lessons.
The goal is not only to learn principles but also to apply them independently.
Step 4: Opening Preparation
I will provide opening files and repertoire guidance whenever necessary. However, I believe openings should support overall chess understanding rather than dominate training time.
For most students, improving calculation, strategic understanding, and practical decision-making yields much greater long-term results than memorizing opening variations.
I have worked as a second and training partner for strong competitive players and have gained valuable insights into high-level preparation and improvement methods. I am currently training a really talented Australian junior.
My coaching philosophy is based on building a friendly and comfortable relationship between student and coach. I believe students learn best when they feel free to ask questions, discuss ideas, and enjoy the learning process.
