About
Honi Arora
FIDE Master, chess coach, and web developer.
Chess
I have competed internationally in Hungary, Serbia, Italy, Montenegro, Croatia, Bulgaria, and the UAE. I am ten times Rajasthan State Champion and got 3rd place at Commonwealth level. Chess has taken me far, and I continue to play seriously at the international level.
Through three Chessable courses I have taught over 500 students worldwide, covering the Sicilian Najdorf, defensive technique, and the Grand Prix Attack. I also take private and group chess lessons only for serious students. Drop a mail if you wanna join!
Computer Science & AI
I study Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Sapienza University of Rome. I have build multiple full stack websites and AI/ML projects.
