Nilabhro Datta

I am a software developer and teacher with experience conducting classes and courses in schools, colleges, training institutes and online. I am also an experienced chess player and coach.

I come from a Computer Science background having completed my MSc in Computer Science from St. Xavier’s College in Kolkata. Subsequently, I pursued my Master in Management course from the world’s oldest business school, ESCP Business School, where I studied in campuses in Paris, Madrid and Berlin.

I have extensive experience conducting online and offline classes in Computer Science and Software Development including
➢ Computer Science Professor – SA Jaipuria College

My classes and courses have always received very positive feedback. Over the years, I have developed the ability to present information and concepts in a structured, understandable and engaging manner tailored to the requirements of each group and individual. I conduct one-to-one classes, group classes, and short term skill builder courses. You can contact me for classes on the following topics:

I also conduct targeted short term skill development courses in batches in various topics. Feel free to inquire about them as well.

I am also an experienced chess player and coach, with experience coaching players of all
age levels and age groups.
➢ I have won multiple chess championships at both national and international level, including the 1st BCA FIDE Rated Chess Tournament in 2011.
➢ I have coached chess in schools and was the chess coach at
St. Xavier’s University.
➢ I was the recipient of a scholarship for promising sportspersons from the Government of West Bengal
➢ I was the captain of the University of Calcutta chess team.

I started coaching as a way to stay in touch with my passion when I did not have the time to practice and prepare for tournaments anymore. Since then, I have coached players of all levels, right from beginners through to established professional players. I have coached individuals, batches, taken classes in schools and been the coach of the St. Xavier's University chess team.
Chess remains one of the most important and rewarding aspects of my life and I look forward to inspiring and coaching the next generation of chess players.
Chess is a highly applied discipline. It is not enough to just know WHAT to do (indeed, a lot of the fundamentals of chess are just an Internet search away). To improve as a chess player, you need to understand WHY you are doing something, implement it in multiple games and positions, make mistakes - lots of them, recognize and learn from those mistakes, and then go again. This is the journey we will embark on together, and you will emerge a better and stronger chess player.
With experience coaching students at all levels — from beginners taking their first steps into chess to established professionals — I tailor my teaching to suit each individual’s needs. My classes welcome players of all ages and skill levels, as long as you’re comfortable with online learning and the use of associated tools including chess software.
