The Journey of a 9-Year-Old Master

As a chess coach, I have had the privilege of working with incredible young talents. One of the most inspiring stories comes from a young player named Pranav, a 9-year-old who has already achieved a remarkable 2000 rating on Lichess — a feat that many adult players would envy. But Pranav's story isn't just about raw talent. It's about dedication, personalized coaching, and a structured approach to improvement.

If you're a parent in the USA with a child who shows interest in chess, or if you're a beginner wondering how to take your game to the next level, I want to share how my coaching methods have helped Pranav—and can help your child too.

My Coaching Method: Focused, Structured, and Effective

Achieving a high level of proficiency in chess requires more than just playing games. It takes focused, consistent work. That’s why my coaching approach is based on a few key principles:

Minimum 60 Minutes of Daily Work: Consistency is key to improvement. I recommend dedicating at least an hour a day to chess-related activities — whether it's studying tactics, analyzing games, or solving puzzles. This routine lays the foundation for solid growth.
Personalized Daily Tasks: Every child is different, and one-size-fits-all approaches don’t work. I customize daily tasks based on the child's current skill level, ensuring they challenge them while reinforcing core concepts.
Regular Tournaments: Competing in tournaments is essential for growth. It teaches kids resilience, strategic thinking under pressure, and how to deal with both wins and losses. I regularly organize and encourage participation in online tournaments to give students valuable experience.
Weekly 60-Minute Live Lessons: One-on-one live lessons allow for in-depth analysis and tailored feedback. These lessons focus on the specific areas where your child needs to improve, whether it's opening theory, middle-game tactics, or endgame strategies.

The Pranav Story: From Beginner to 2000 Rating

Pranav’s progress is a testament to how a focused, structured approach can lead to exceptional results. When he started, he was like any other beginner—enthusiastic but lacking a clear plan. Now, after working with me for several months, he’s one of the strongest young players on Lichess.

Here’s what makes Pranav’s success so impressive:

Dedication: Pranav committed to the daily routine without shortcuts. Whether it was solving puzzles, studying games, or reviewing openings, he put in the effort.
Patience: Chess improvement isn’t instant. But through the ups and downs of learning, Pranav never lost faith in the process.
Adaptability: We continuously assess and adapt his training to target specific areas for improvement.

You can follow Pranav’s journey and track his progress on Lichess here. His success can be yours too, with the right guidance and support.
