GM Arjun Kalyan

I am Arjun Kalyan from Chennai, India (20 y/o). I recently pivoted from being a professional chess player to focusing on other interests. I am usually very observant in assessing your strengths and weaknesses. I have a lot of good material on different aspects of the game from my experience as a competitive player. I am known to be a very well prepared player and I am excited to share my opening ideas to interested students! I have published a Chessable course on the Italian - www.chessable.com/kalyans-lethal-italian/course/162971/. I have also published 7 courses on Modern Chess which you can check here- www.modern-chess.com/authors/kalyan-arjun.

I became an IM in the year 2018 and GM in the year 2021. My current Fide Elo is 2509 and my peak Elo is 2537. I have been playing chess professionally over the past 5 years and have won many events around the world.

I was part of the medal-winning Indian team at the Chess Olympiad 2022 in Chennai, as an assistant coach. I was also one of the coaches of the team for Asian Games 2022 in China where we won silver.

I usually start with analysis of your games to understand your strengths and weaknesses. We can then mutually decide to work on a few specific areas. I have a lot of good material in the opening which I have prepared over the years.
