About me

I am a 29-year-old Grandmaster from India. I am the founder of chessneurons.com. This innovative website is your gateway to increasing your positional understanding through the positions curated by me. Join me in elevating your chess strategy to new heights. You can visit my website ankitrajpara.com to know more about me and achievements of my students.

Playing experience

I have been playing chess for the past 20 years, and I have won many International Tournaments.

Teaching experience

I have been chess coaching for more than 7 years.

*I have students from more than 12 countries.

* Students have won National and International Titles in their respective categories.

* Students have obtained International Master Norms

* Many students have increased their rating (FIDE and USCF) substantially within a few months of working with me.

Other experiences

I was the coach and captain of the Brazilian Women's Team in the Olympiad 2022.

Best skills

I am more of a positional oriented player and the same can be reflected in my coaching style. The communication between the student and I doesn’t stop when the lesson ends. I am available to answer the questions students may have outside of the lesson as well.

Teaching methodology

Initial lessons focus more on the analysis of the students’ games to identify their strengths and weaknesses. After this, we work on specific topics and plan for future lessons and a work plan which the student can follow outside of the Lesson is prepared.
