About me
Hello! I am International Master Raghunandan KS from India. I have 1 GM Norm and a FIDE rating of 2441.
Playing experience
I started learning chess at a relatively late age of around 8.5 and got my initial FIDE rating of 1431 in 2009 at the age of 9. Yet, I managed to reach the rating of 1991 in less than 2.5 years and became an IM in 2016 at the age of 14 years and 12 months. I have got medals in Asian Youth, World Youth and Asian Junior Championships. My success from 0 to 2400, especially from 0 to 2000 has been extremely rapid and on par with most prodigies. I can help you improve and achieve similar success.

Teaching methodology
First I will look at your recent games (online games will also do), and then give you a set of positions to solve and ask you to speak aloud your thought process. This will help me clearly evaluate your strengths and weaknesses.
Once that's done, we will work on all areas of the game (Opening, Middlegame, and Endgame), with a specific focus on fixing your weaknesses. I will also tell you exactly "how" and "what" you should work on in order to improve quickly.
