    Dipankar has been such a great coach to me. I started with a rating of roughly 850 blitz, knowing practically nothing of chess. Now, I can confidently play vienna and french styles of games and I feel like I really am getting better at Chess. I can see tactics I never knew of before, I know what to do when I feel like I'm about to lose a piece. The way he teaches is one that I really admire, with a friendly yet serious attitude towards the game. I would fully recommend him as a coach.

    Coach Dipankar has been a great help in pushing my chess level from Beginner level to Intermediate. When I started with Dipankar I was playing jump rope with the 1200 line, but after lessons I hit 1300 within a month and am now sitting at 1439 after around 3 months. My openings are strongly improved, my blunders lessened, and I catch tactics much more frequently.

    Working with Dipankar has been both instructive and fun. I’ve gone from about 900 to about 1500 in six months. As an adult improver I wasn’t confident I could improve at all, let alone so quickly! We’ve worked on tactics, calculation, endgames, and positional strategy. He helps me analyze my games to see where they go right/wrong, and gives useful tactical exercises to solidify the skills. His feedback is constructive and practical. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a coach.
