Let’s EXPERIENCE the BEAUTY of MUSIC and
TASTE THE NECTAR OF MUSIC…!!!
My unique way of teaching is easily understandable, interactive and fun learning with MUSIC. As everyone have their own potentiality to understand the MUSIC, my teaching pattern will change according to the capability of each.
It is said that “MUSIC is an OCEAN”. The more deeper you go, the more Beauty you see and experience it. It takes us to a complete different world.
In simple way, MUSIC is an excercise to body, relaxation to mind and satisfaction to soul. It Connects everyone spiritually and gives us inner peace.
Isn’t it the wants of every human being???
Let me take an opportunity to show the way to the “world of MUSIC” which gives you the atmost happiness which I have been experiencing and enjoying since many years.
SASTANGA NAMASKARA TO ALL MY GURUS for their constant love, support and blessings. I can’t repay their debt even after many births. Thank you all From bottom of my heart..
Forever student of MUSIC.

I’m actually not sure if Bg4 was a blunder, because: Bxf7+ Ke7 Qe1 Nxf7 even then I still might have Qh4+ to win back the piece. But just goes to show that we are all human and it is easy to miss things when you are having to defend early on as my opponent was
Also in the Qh5+ Ng6 game. I was blind when analyzing and missed the real reason why they resigned was because Qh5+ wins the Bishop on h6 lol…there’s also Nxh7 followed by Qxg6+ but there’s no need for that haha

This series is on Endgames that are common and based on a guidance of technique rather than sheer memory. I get Phillidor and Lucena position once a month out of 50-100 games played. But a Rook endgame where I had to apply some of or all of the principles in the video, this is almost an everyday occurrence to me. Multiple other coaches like “Chess Vibes” and “Kostya Kavutskiy”(chess.com coach of the month winner) would agree; learn the practical endgames and principles first…Then, later on you can focus on the theoretical ones and memorization.
Remember the rules:
- Pawns protect each other
-make diagonal line with your pawns(called a pawn chain)
-this way your king or pieces only have to worry about protecting 1 or 2 pawns
- Activate the King
-The king is worth around 3.5 points in the endgame, more powerful than a single Knight or Bishop
-Once the endgame has been reached and checkmate is no longer a threat, the Kings come out to play and control key parts of the board
-Many times you need your King in order to properly escort a passed pawn to promotion
-Kings can be key defenders of important squares/pawns and other time blockade/capture enemy pawns
- Get your Rook to 7th/2nd rank
-Rooks can are great at limiting the activity and usefulness of enemy pawns
-When they reach the Rank they threaten to take multiple pawns which can only be defended by a piece
-Allows the Rook to both take enemy pawns while simultaneously defending their own pawns as shown in the video
- Create a passed pawn and push it to promotion
-A passed pawn threatens to be promoted to a queen which if allowed will win the game for you
-Many times the opponent is forced to prevent promotion in a way that weakens their position and makes them unable to counterattack
-The closer you push the passed pawn to promotion the more you take up space and force your opponent into a weakened and vulnerable position
-Ideally, promote the pass pawn to a Queen which forces your opponent to sacrifice their piece to capture the Queen, then use your king and extra piece to capture enemy pawns to create another passed pawn that later becomes a Queen

My teaching style is very much based on what the student wants to learn and work on. My emphasis is on the fundamentals of controlling the center and placing pieces in natural positions where the students will have the best chance at success. It is important to not only give instruction but also demonstrate your own level of skill and understanding, I have found by doing so you motivate the learners to practice more and improve.
While I am highly enthusiastic when it comes to chess, it is not my only passion. I also practice Martial Arts, speak foreign languages(French, Portuguese, German Spanish, Russian, and Hebrew), in addition to studying in IT and Cybersecurity.
