Founder of LearnChess

I plateaued around 1600 on Lichess and built LearnChess to understand my games more deeply. I wanted an easy way to decipher engine lines and the ability to ask questions about the board in natural language. Additionally, I was looking for a structured learning path with lessons that build on top of each other, practice sessions and tests to track my progress. On the blog, I share the learnings of my chess journey and other stuff I find interesting. Happy reading :)
