Hi, My name is Sambit Panda and I am an International Master from Odisha, India. I became an IM at the age of 18, achieving five IM norms and reached a peak FIDE rating of 2452 in the process. Most of my playing career I have worked independently and have spent a significant amount of time to understand different aspects of chess improvement.

I have deep practical knowledge of specific opening systems, with good results both online and over the board. In my coaching, I place a strong emphasis on practical decision making which I think makes a big difference for success in modern chess. I can also help you prepare openings that are flexible and based on pawn structures and strategy more than just rote memorization. I believe every student is unique so I remain flexible with my approach.

Currently I work with a limited number of students alongside actively competing myself.
