Perfect! We had the opportunity to work with Soumik as a co-author for a course on our OneChess platform. Since we put a lot of effort into maintaining a high standard for our course content, we were particularly impressed by the depth he brought to the work.

Soumik has a strong understanding of chess and a real ability to explain concepts clearly. He put a lot of thought into every position and puzzle, making sure the descriptions and hints would actually help learners understand the ideas behind them. What stood out most was his willingness to go the extra mile and his genuine commitment to creating something useful for anyone studying the material.

It was a pleasure working with him, and we’d happily recommend Soumik to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated chess coach.

Soumik's response
I had a really positive experience working with him on the OneChess course. He was professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in creating something that would be valuable for learners. I especially appreciated his openness to ideas and feedback throughout the process, and the care he put into maintaining a high standard for the course.

It was a pleasure collaborating with him, and I’d be happy to work with him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone serious, thoughtful, and committed to delivering quality work.

Since starting classes with Soumik, my calculation skills and tactical vision have reached a new level. He has a gift for identifying 'hidden' weaknesses in my games that I never would have noticed on my own. He provides excellent homework and analysis of my previous games, which has led to a direct and measurable increase in my online rating. Truly a dedicated and sincere coach.
