IM Shashikant Kutwal

I am from Pune, India. I am 17th IPCA World Chess champion. I am International Master. My age is 40 years old. I am playing chess from last 27 years. Playing chess is my passion. I love chess coaching.

I am playing from last 27 years. I have won several Fide rating tournaments. I am International Master. I have won 17th IPCA World chess championship at Slovakia.

I have been in chess coaching from last 10 years. I have produced good chess players from rating 1200 to 2100. My student has won U14 West Asian chess tournament (Kashish Jain). Other student increased 500 points in Spanish tour(Aayush Mahajan) I emphasize on various chess skills such as opening strategy middle-game concepts and endgame etc. I have worked briefly with GM Anurag Mahamal.

I believe chess is an art of decision making. We have to develop this art by intensive practice. Opening has to be prepared as per player`s style and liking. Middle-game concepts and endgame ideas have to be analysed intensely to improve its understanding. I have collected thousands positions to improve this such concepts.

I analyse the games of students and find out the weaknesses or on which part work has to be done. I make opening database and then teach students and for studying and for future reference I send it students. For middle-game and endgame concepts also I make databases and send it to students.
