International Chess Coaching in Surat
Surat Chess Club is the only chess academy in Surat with a titled coach: FIDE Master Jeet Jain, rated 2312 (peak 2361), with two International Master norms earned at international tournaments. If your goal is a FIDE rating, a title, or rated events beyond Gujarat, this is coaching from someone who plays at that level today.
What “international” chess coaching actually means
Plenty of classes call themselves international. In chess the word has a precise meaning: the international federation, FIDE, its ratings and its titles. Here is what that looks like in our classroom.
FIDE Master is a lifetime title awarded by FIDE, the world chess federation, and it sits on a public record anyone can check. No other chess academy in Surat has a titled player coaching its students.
An International Master norm is earned by performing at IM level in an international tournament against titled and foreign opponents. Jeet holds two.
Training is built around FIDE-rated play: classical time controls, notation, opening preparation for named events, and analysis of the student's own rated games.
Jeet still competes, so the preparation methods students learn are the ones he uses himself, not ones read about in a book.

From first move to international play
