Hey, Kunjan this side.

I learnt chess by observing my family play at an age of 5 and fell in love with the game ever since.

My journey as a competitive chess player started when I first was selected an inter-school tournament. Sadly, after playing a handful rating tournaments, I realized I wasn't very fond of competitive chess. That's where I started teaching, training and guiding young chess players.

Additionally, I've completed my Teach For India Fellowship wherein I worked majorly as a school teacher in an under-resourced government school. I'm trained in pedagogy, lesson planning and long-term course planning.

I classify myself as an attacking, tactical and an experimental chess player. My top 3 values as a coach and as a person are respect, excellence and punctuality.
