Some Lesser Known Facts About Ramachandran Ramesh
Ramachandran Ramesh is an Indian Chess grandmaster and a chess coach. He is known to be the mentor of the Chess prodigy R Praggnanandhaa . In December 2023, he was nominated for the Dronacharya Award.
At the age of twelve, Ramesh took up chess due to his inspiration from Indian chess player Viswanathan Anand ‘s success.

Ramesh was asked by the All India Chess Federation (AICF) to travel with the Indian Junior squad to the Asian Junior Championship in Iran when he was 22 years old. Aarthie, Ramesh’s wife, was a member of the group. After they returned from the tournament, as no official chess coaching or tutoring was available at the time, Aarthie’s parents asked Ramesh to assist Aarthie in practising the game. They played chess together for a year before Aarthie won the World Under 18 championship, which attracted media attention and led to many other young players approaching Ramesh for coaching. After that, he began private sessions with several players at his house. According to him, ninety per cent of the players he initially worked with achieved the title of grandmaster in chess, which further inspired him to begin professionally teaching chess and to become a mentor.
