FM Prajit Sai Kumar

Hi, I am Prajit and I am currently a 18 year old Fide Master. As a coach, my goal is to help you master fundamental principles and build a deep, intuitive understanding of the game.

- 1st Place – Dutch Youth Chess Championship U12
- Shared 1st Place & Shared 2nd Place – Dutch Youth Chess Championship U14
- 3rd Place – Dutch Youth Chess Championship U16
- Represented the Netherlands at the World Youth Chess Olympiad U16

Over 3 years of 1-on-1 chess coaching experience working with students of all age groups, both in-person and online. I have taught players across a wide range of skill levels at all different points in their chess journeys.

My biggest strength as a coach is taking complex theoretical ideas and turning them into clear, practical vision you can use at the board right away. I excel at breaking down your actual games to spot bad habits, missed tactics, and positional missteps. Everyone learns differently, so I adapt my coaching style to how you learn best, helping you build real confidence for tournament play.

In our lessons, we take a balanced approach to improvement: we’ll master core tactics using thematic puzzle sets, dig into the plans behind your openings so you know how to navigate the resulting middlegames and endgames, and sharpen your overall decision-making, thought process, and calculation skills.

Lessons will be on Google Meet and I will use Lichess and Chessbase. Communication will be via WhatsApp.
