About Vraj
Hello! My name is Vraj, and I am a competitive chess player and dedicated chess coach with over 12 years of tournament experience. Chess has been a major part of my life for many years, and I have proudly represented my region at university, state, national and international level competitions, gaining deep practical knowledge of real tournament chess.
I have been fortunate to receive a Government of Gujarat Chess Scholarship, which recognized my performance and commitment to the game. Over the years, I have trained under experienced chess professionals worldwide, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of chess fundamentals, strategy, and modern competitive play.
As a coach, I am patient, friendly, and highly focused on student improvement. I believe chess is not only about learning moves, but also about developing powerful life skills such as concentration, discipline, decision-making, and confidence. My goal is to make lessons enjoyable while ensuring that every student progresses with a clear learning path.
Whether you are learning chess for the first time, aiming to improve your rating, or preparing for tournaments, I will guide you with structured lessons, practical training, and consistent feedback.
I look forward to helping you grow into a stronger and smarter chess player.

My chess lessons are designed to help students improve in a structured, enjoyable, and practical way whether you are a complete beginner or preparing for competitive tournaments.
With 12+ years of competitive chess experience, including participation at university, state, national and international level tournaments, I focus on building strong fundamentals first, and then developing advanced thinking skills such as calculation, positional understanding, and strategic planning. I have also been trained under experienced chess professionals worldwide, which has helped me develop a modern and effective teaching style.
♟️My Teaching Methodology
My coaching approach is highly personalized. Every student has different strengths and weaknesses, so I create lessons based on the student’s current level and goals. My sessions usually include:
Fundamentals (opening principles, tactics, checkmates, endgames)
Tactical training (forks, pins, skewers, combinations)
Strategy & positional understanding
Calculation and visualization training
Game analysis (mistakes, improvement areas, best moves)
Tournament preparation and mindset training
I also provide practice exercises and guidance on what to work on between sessions to ensure consistent progress.
Lesson Structure & Duration
A typical lesson is 60 minutes, but longer sessions (90 minutes) can also be arranged for advanced training or tournament preparation.
Lessons are well-structured and usually include:
Quick warm-up puzzle solving
Concept learning + examples
Practice through real game positions
Feedback and improvement plan
Who Are My Lessons For?
My chess coaching is suitable for:
Kids, teenagers, and adults
Complete beginners learning chess for the first time
Intermediate players aiming to improve rating and consistency
Competitive players preparing for tournaments
Whether your goal is to play confidently, improve your strategy, or become a tournament-level player, I will help you build strong skills step-by-step in a clear and motivating way.
