About Me

Hi, my name is Hemi Rambha, and I'm a National Master from Nashville, TN. I fell in love with chess when I was 6 years old, and I've been competitively playing for 12 years now. I earned my master title in 2024, and I have 8 TN state championships and 10 Nashville City championships under my belt while also being the Barber and Denker representative for middle school & high school. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Specialties

I like to work on the middle game portion of the game, as it is overflowing with ideas and positional play. I also love looking at attacks, and I am a huge puzzle lover. Good Student Match: I like an experienced tournament player who strives to learn more about the game, as the intake of knowledge can only help, never hurt. Moreover, it would help if they have a clear rating goal that they want to reach.

Playing Experience

1) 8 Time TN State Scholastic Champion

2) Time Nashville City Scholastic Champion & 1 Time Nashville City Open Champion

3) Nationals 7th Place in Grade Nationals x2 - 4th, 5th Grade

4) Nationals 4th Place in K-12 Nationals - 9th Grade

5) Nationals 2nd Place in Blitz - 7th Grade

Teaching Method

I like to show model games of certain attacking or positional patterns so that students get a grasp of that concept and then show them more positions in that area so they can solidify their ability. I also like to play games against them and explain my thoughts behind my moves, so I can show my view of the position while I learn about theirs.

OUR MISSION It is the mission of the Saint Louis Chess Club, an educational organization, to maintain a formal program of instruction to teach the game of chess and to promote and support its educational program through community outreach and local and national partnerships to increase the awareness of the educational value of chess.
