Coach Pedram Atoufi – FIDE Master & Founder of Unity Chess Club
Coach Pedram discovered chess at the age of 12—unusually late for a competitive player—just as Iran lifted its decade-long ban on the game, which had been imposed due to its associations with gambling and royalty. Despite this late start, he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Iran’s National Youth Champion in 1992. What began as a newfound opportunity soon evolved into a lifelong passion, shaping his journey as both a player and mentor.
With over 35 years of teaching experience, Coach Pedram has guided students to remarkable achievements in prestigious events such as the Asian Girls Championship, the U.S. National Championship, and the Turkish National Championship.
His deep knowledge, inspiring journey, and proven coaching track record make him an outstanding mentor for players of all levels.
