Thank you sir. It is an honor and privilege for me to work with your son. If he maintains his focus then he will definitely become a strong chess player!

My 9 year old has been taking chess coaching lessons from Mr. Rama for the last few months now and thoroughly enjoys it. Rama is very patient, provides adequate guidance, and is fun to learn from. His coaching style and thoughtful exercises teaches students to think of all possible strategies before making a move. Since my son has started taking coaching lessons from Rama, his game has improved significantly. He is very confident and is playing much better. He has learned to anticipate opponent moves and develop counter strategies. He looks forward to the chess lessons and tournaments, and enjoys the game a lot more. I would strongly recommend Rama to anyone who is interested in learning or working to improve their chess game.

I experienced about a couple dozen, good times, of Chess Coaching with Rama. He appears to be at his pinnacle now, right around an Expert Level Player and Mentor. Which in turn helped me jump a few hundred USCF Points myself!
