Perfect! We had the opportunity to work with Soumik as a co-author for a course on our OneChess platform. Since we put a lot of effort into maintaining a high standard for our course content, we were particularly impressed by the depth he brought to the work.
Soumik has a strong understanding of chess and a real ability to explain concepts clearly. He put a lot of thought into every position and puzzle, making sure the descriptions and hints would actually help learners understand the ideas behind them. What stood out most was his willingness to go the extra mile and his genuine commitment to creating something useful for anyone studying the material.
It was a pleasure working with him, and we’d happily recommend Soumik to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated chess coach.- I had a really positive experience working with him on the OneChess course. He was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in creating something that would be valuable for learners. I especially appreciated his openness to ideas and feedback throughout the process, and the care he put into maintaining a high standard for the course.Soumik's response :
It was a pleasure collaborating with him, and I’d be happy to work with him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone serious, thoughtful, and committed to delivering quality work.

Exceptional Chess coach who builds both skill and confidence!
Our son has been taking chess lessons with Soumik, and the progress we have seen is amazing. Soumik has a fantastic teaching style that is structured, patient, and incredibly engaging for young learners.
Instead of memorizing routine moves, Soumik focuses on teaching core fundamentals, patterns, and deep thinking habits.
Highly recommended to any parent looking to help their child excel in Chess.He is one of the best in this field. Highly recommend.
Since starting classes with Soumik, my calculation skills and tactical vision have reached a new level. He has a gift for identifying 'hidden' weaknesses in my games that I never would have noticed on my own. He provides excellent homework and analysis of my previous games, which has led to a direct and measurable increase in my online rating. Truly a dedicated and sincere coach.
Soumik’s classes are incredibly well-structured and hands-on. He provides excellent study materials and homework that keep you sharp between sessions. I particularly appreciated how he analyzes my previous games to identify specific weaknesses I needed to work on. Since starting with him, my decision-making and logical reasoning have seen a marked improvement.
Soumik is a fantastic coach who truly understands the game at a high competitive level. His focus on strong fundamentals and clear thinking has completely changed the way I approach the board. He doesn't just teach standard moves; he challenges you to think deeply about every position. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to build a professional foundation in chess.
I highly recommend Soumik as a chess teacher. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex strategies into simple, easy-to-understand concepts. His patience and encouraging nature make every lesson something to look forward to. Since my child started lessons with him, I’ve seen a huge boost in both their technical skill and their confidence at the board.
Constructed explanation with the intention of why this is necessary.very very crystal clear way of explanation depending upon students level. Honestly you are a true mentor.
