About

Honi Arora

FIDE Master, chess coach, CS+AI student, and web developer.

Chess

I earned the FIDE Master title representing India and have competed across Europe and the Middle East — Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bulgaria, and the UAE. 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. Coaching is something I take seriously — I want students to actually understand chess, not just memorise moves. 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. The overlap between chess thinking and machine learning is something I find genuinely exciting — both fields reward deep pattern recognition and long-term planning over shallow heuristics. I am also passionate for web developement.
