About Soham
Hello! I am Soham Dey, a professional chess player with a peak FIDE rating of 2114. I have been passionate about chess since my early childhood and have competed professionally for over 10 years, achieving milestones such as ranking in the Top 50 worldwide (U-15) and playing in international leagues and tournaments.
I have been teaching for the last 2+ years, during which I have coached ranked players. I want to share my knowledge because I believe that chess is more than just a game - it is a unique way to develop critical thinking, patience, and strategic planning skills that apply both on and off the board. I work sincerely with my students to provide personalized guidance, combining my competitive experience with a structured, academic approach to help you succeed.

My teaching approach is personalized and engaging, combining classical chess tactics with modern digital tools to ensure you master both theory and practical application. I believe chess is a powerful tool to develop critical thinking, patience, and strategic planning skills that apply off the board.
A typical class involves interactive sessions and online analysis where we review games together. I also create customized study materials for practice and often act as a practice partner to help you test new strategies in real-time.
What makes me unique is my background as an active International Player with a peak FIDE rating of 2114 and over 10 years of professional experience. Having competed in World Chess Championships (Top 50 in World U-15), I bring elite-level insight into competitive psychology and tournament preparation.
My classes are intended for a wide range of students - from school children building their foundation to ranked players looking to improve their competitive standing. I work sincerely with all my students to help them define their values and achieve their goals.

My son took classes from him. The best part of his teaching is the game analysis.It has helped him to improve his thought process.His rating has also increased after the classes. Highly recommended!I have known Soham for years as a competitor and colleague. He is a strong FIDE-rated player with deep theoretical knowledge and over 10 years of experience in the circuit. He brings the same analytical rigor to his coaching that he does to his playing. If you want a coach who has actually played at the international level and understands tournament psychology, Soham is the right choice.
