Sourabh Joshi
Hello! I'm AFM Sourabh Joshi, the founder of ChessDepth Academy. Coming from a technical and engineering background, I've developed a methodical approach to chess, focusing on systematic learning and analytical thinking. As a FIDE-rated player (current FIDE rating: 1603, FIDE ID: 25798170), and with an online rating often exceeding 2200 on various platforms, I've dedicated years to understanding the nuances of chess and how to effectively teach them.
My journey in chess has provided me with a deep appreciation for its strategic depth and the cognitive benefits it offers. Through ChessDepth, I aim to share this passion and knowledge, guiding students to not only improve their game but also develop essential life skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience.
Let's go beyond surface-level chess — let's go deep.
