I’m Soham Kamotra, a 21-year-old chess player from Jammu & Kashmir, India. I became an International Master last year, securing five norms along the way. I am the only title holder in my state & had to grow organically at times. I’ve won multiple national titles and earned international medals at major events such as the Asian and Commonwealth championships.

My strength lies in positional and strategic play. Tactics and calculation are the foundation of chess, and with proper training material and steady practice, any player can improve them significantly. But developing strong intuition, the kind that understands structures, plans, and long-term ideas; demands a deeper, more thoughtful study of the game. That level of understanding is what I aim to help my students achieve. Choosing the right openings is another area I can guide you in. Your openings should include the element of surprise while allowing you to feel confident in the resulting early middlegame positions. My preparation will ensure these key aspects are fully covered.
