IM Deboushnik De

About me

I am Deboushnik De, an International Master and professional chess coach, with a FIDE rating of 2430. My work focuses on high-level opening preparation, tournament preparation, game analysis, middlegame understanding and practical decision-making. I have had the opportunity to coach World Champions across different age categories, as well as National Champions and ambitious competitive players. I have also worked as a second for multiple 2600–2750+ Super Grandmasters, contributing to their preparation for high-level tournaments. My experience as a second includes opening preparation and repertoire development, novelty and theoretical research, opponent-specific preparation, deep game analysis, tournament strategy, preparation of critical positions, and practical decision-making under pressure. Working closely with elite players has given me a firsthand understanding of how strong players study, prepare and make decisions at the highest level. I bring the same principles into my coaching, adapting them to the individual needs and playing level of each student. I have also helped ambitious players achieve important rating milestones, particularly players in the 2000–2100 FIDE range, while coaching players who went on to achieve National and World Championship titles in their respective age categories.
