India's number two chess player, the in-form Super GM Pentala Harikrishna, is offering a unique chance to have training time with him.
The 2730-rated grandmaster has launched a competition to win a place in one of two group lessons focusing on one of his opening systems.
Harikrishna, aged 33, recently released his first chess instruction course, an anti-French repertoire titled French Toast: How Harikrishna fries 1... e6, through the online training platform Chessable.com.
The course has a points leaderboard to show who has studied the most, and Harikrishna will host a lesson with the top 5 each week.
Harikrishna, from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, has been in sparkling form this year and narrowly missed out on top spot at the elite Shenzhen Masters earlier this month
