Welcome! My name is Rupesh Kumar, a FIDE International Player, International Arbiter and chess trainer in Delhi, India. I teach at 3 local schools, work 1-on-1 with students of all ages, and volunteer with local organizations so that everyone can experience the many benefits of chess. My goal here is to help more people worldwide get better at chess for free. You will gain a strong understanding of the ideas behind every move, be able to create a clear plan, and develop useful decision making models. I like to focus on why pawn structure is so important to understanding chess. As Philidor said, "Pawns are the soul of chess."You will not only get in-depth analysis of GM games, my games, theory, psychology, and useful tips, but I will analyze your games, too. Please send me the moves to a game of your choice that you'd like to understand better.
