Hi!
I am International Master Nikhil Dixit and this is a place to share my thoughts and help you to achieve your chess goals.
These days I am posting chess content on X and on Youtube
I am also working with around 15-17 students at a time and helping them to reach to next level. Best achievement so far as a coach is – 2 of my students won Silver medal in continental championship (Asian and African). I enjoy chess coaching and working with a serious students. I learned that mentorship is most important thing in chess and most of the chess coaches are not working on it.
I provide exact things to do on in a week and if student do that, it’s not difficult to gain 150-200 rating points. Motivation plays very important role while doing chess practice. If student is motivated, progress becomes faster.
I am currently working with students between 8-15 years and those are aiming to get titles and win championships. I have dedicated chess coaching page where you can find more information.
I am also working with handful of adult improvers. I would love to work more with adult improvers as I learn a lot from them if they are interested to talk outside of chess. Biggest problem with adult improvers is they are not ready to change the mindset and that’s why I am always get hesitate to accept them as a student.
Courses
Apart from writing blogs and coaching, I create chess courses. Following courses are meant for players below 2000 rating. 1.e4 is very useful. I have received very good feedback on it. Course purchase is not compulsory and you can skip this section. Although as a creator, it’s important to tell this to everyone!
Other Services
Apart from chess coaching, I have helped some businesses with SEO and content strategy. If you are a chess media house or a chess club or academy, we can talk more on this. I have also did a freelance work in Machine learning and model training. Not accepting this gigs though but if you have a very strong proposal, do email me.
