• Coach Hassaan Mehmood

    National Instructor (NI) & International Organizer (IO)
    Certified by World Chess Federation (FIDE)

    I was introduced to chess by my father in 2001 at age 7, and what started as a fun activity quickly became a passion. After nearly a decade of playing casually, I entered the world of professional chess in 2010. As I began competing in local tournaments, I dedicated countless hours to studying the game, which improved my skills and led to recognition within my community.


    In 2015, I expanded into coaching and organizing, finding fulfillment in teaching students and helping them develop their chess abilities. By 2019, I was working with a local chess regulatory body, organizing tournaments and events.


    The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 shifted my focus to online chess coaching, allowing me to reach a global audience. That same year, I completed my MBA in Finance, enhancing my analytical and organizational skills.


    In 2022, I earned the International Organizer (IO) title from FIDE, and in 2023, I achieved the National Instructor (NI) title, further refining my coaching approach through collaboration with grandmasters.
