Hello, dear chess friends!

I am Grandmaster Swapnil Dhopade from India ( FIDE Rating:- 2501; Highest 2545)

As a player, my best performance was in the Isle of Man International Chess tournament in 2017, when I shared the third place with legends like Kramnik, Caruana, Adams, etc. with a rating performance of 2768.

I have been coaching for many years now. My most notable student is GM Raunak Sadhwani who achieved his Grandmaster title at the age of 13 years and 9 months.
I have also been the coach of the Indian Women's team for the World team chess championship 2019 in Kazakhstan, Asian continental Chess championship 2019 in China and the Asian Nations Cup 2018 in Iran.

I am the founder and head coach of the online chess academy Chess Pathshala ('Pathshala' is the Indian word for school). You can visit the academy site on https://chesspathshala.in/. We have a team of experienced coaches for varied levels of students.

We have just launched 3 specialized courses for players below 1800 FIDE rating at the most affordable fees. These courses are- 1. Tactics Training Course 2. Positional Play Training course and 3. Endgame Training course. The material in the course is designed by me and the coaches in my academy are trained by me to teach the students in the best way.
