Hi, I'm Satanick. For the past seven years, I have worked with ChessBase India as an author and editor. My primary area of expertise is chess composition. Over the years, I have been actively involved in solving, curating, and writing about chess problems and studies, bringing the richness and beauty of this fascinating field to a wider audience.
I have also helped organise in-person chess solving competitions across India, with events held in cities including Mumbai, Gurgaon, Noida, Delhi, and Bhopal. More recently, I have been collaborating with the **World Federation for Chess Composition** (WFCC), the international body responsible for overseeing and promoting chess composition. As part of this collaboration, I launched the online webinar series Inside the Solver's Mind to introduce chess players to the art and sport of chess solving in a fun and painless way.
The other webinar I currently run is Tactical Alchemy. A strong foundation in calculation and tactical vision is essential for anyone wishing to progress to solving chess compositions, and this webinar is designed to develop precisely those skills. At the same time, it is not limited to aspiring solvers; it is equally suitable for improving players rated below 1300 online who are primarily interested in strengthening their practical chess, sharpening their tactical awareness, and achieving better tournament results.
Details of both webinars, including registration information, are provided below.
I conduct this every Sunday at 8:00 PM IST. It is aimed at a mature audience that may not necessarily be active tournament players, but who enjoy intellectual challenges and wish to discover the beauty and depth of chess composition. Chess has much more to offer than the pursuit of rating points alone. This webinar will challenge participants to broaden their perspective and think more deeply and creatively.
Registration Fee: ₹50 per session
Included with every session: Carefully selected exercises on the topics covered, as well as access to an exclusive discussion group where participants can ask questions, discuss ideas, and clarify doubts.
