About Head Coach

​

My name is Jeganathan, and I am a Cloud Engineer and a passionate chess educator.

I hold the prestigious titles of FIDE Lead School Instructor (Lecturer) (LSI) and FIDE Arena International Master (FAIM), certified by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) and the Chess in Education Commission, with nearly 15 years of experience in coaching. My journey in chess began during my school years, where I secured first-place positions in several competitions. This success paved the way for my participation in district, state, and national-level tournaments.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse group of students, ranging from ages 4 to 15, including high-profile individuals. My coaching spans both India and international locations, with a carefully tailored syllabus to suit various skill levels. Many of my students have gone on to excel in state and national-level chess competitions.

Teaching chess is not just my profession but a passion that drives me to inspire young minds, guiding them to think critically and enhance their IQ through the strategic brilliance of the game.
