Immerse yourself in the beautiful story of a chess player Ranadeep Pramanik, who will share with you something more about his view of this sport. Here you go...

1. What do you find as the biggest challenge for chess player nowadays?

The Biggest Challenge is the lack of Creativity,The Games are Good but more like Artificial in nature,the Beauty in Combinations reducing slowly day by day!! These days very Few Combinations we get to see like in the era of Andersson,Morphy, Steiniz,Alekhine, Capablanca or Lasker...

As The Chess Engines entered into the Chess world,it seems Creative side being Stagnant and It's a very Serious threat as Upcoming days,more games will end in a draw and people will lose interest,so we Need to restore the Creativity in it!!

2. How do you search for a new chess engagement (clubs, tournaments)?

Its very short,sweet and Simple because I use OutpostChess platform to Engage with every Chess activity...Whether it's Joining club,register for an upcoming tournament online or Live, joining Clubs and Cherry on the Cake is Outpost Chess Organize Cool Online Real Money Tournaments where Anyone can Participate and Win While they can Play with Titled players!!

When I Think About Chess,I mean Everything in One place,Only Outpostchess Comes to my Mind !!

3. What do you think that is the biggest obstacle for improvement in chess?

I think the biggest obstacle for Improvement in chess is not having a Right Mindset ... It's Very Serious Gap because Without a Proper Mindset One Can't learn anything properly.These days the presence of digital media and internet,kids are learning less instead what is happening is Information overloading in their brain ... While Being A Chess Master Takes Time, Dedication, an organized training,the Most important Part is to Creating a strong mindset first so They can learn and progress right away!!

4. Do you think you can live out of chess (make enough money)?

I will be very Honest that Without a Sponsor behind or Proper Financial Support it's Difficult to Pursue Chess as a Professional Player ... While It's Surely Not Impossible but there should be 1/2 side hustle to pursue Chess professionally ...

If One Takes Chess coaching by side,it's Good,for me I love to Teach so I do it and also I play Poker professionally to Support my Chess and family!!

May be it could be different for Titled players but from a perspective of a 1800 rated player,I think it's really hard to live out of Chess only by Playing because there is Very High variance and other things also included there like Mindset,Diet,Training,Physical fitness and a passive income so one can Play Stress-free !!

5. Beside a chess player, do you have any other role in chess?

Besides Playing Chess(Not playing for long though,will start from this year again after long Pause) I love to Teach younger kids because I love to channelise their energy into creativity in chess though constant motivation ... Their innocent Questions and priceless smile Give my Heart long lasting Peace and curiosity to deepdive into Chess more and Learn more ..

As they Say,Sharing is Caring and I Love it from bottom of my heart to Guide and Inspire them so they can Create their Own Path in life 🙂
