IM Rakesh Kumar Jena

I am Rakesh, a native of Odisha, India. Since 2007, I have immersed myself in the intricate world of chess, embarking on a journey defined by unwavering dedication and fervor.

Throughout my journey, I have attained notable triumphs, emerging victorious in esteemed tournaments like the National Chess Championships. In 2017, my relentless pursuit culminated in the prestigious title of International Master (IM).

Beyond the chessboard, my interests span a breadth of disciplines, from the melodic realms of music and poetry to the realms of politics and history. With each pursuit, I aspire to not only excel but also to leave a lasting, positive impact on both the chess arena and the wider world.

I started playing chess in 2007 and turned professional in 2009.

Throughout our sessions, we'll navigate through our comprehensive course with a focus on the Middlegame and Endgame, and I'll provide guidance for self-study. Having taught students at all levels for nearly four years, I bring extensive experience to our sessions.

Additionally, I would like to invite you to an introductory Zoom chess session where we can get to know each other. During this session, I will assess your chess skills and showcase my teaching approach. This will provide us with insights into planning our future lessons together effectively.
