Lokesh

Chess With Lokesh is one of the most active chess fan accounts on Instagram, run by Lokesh Natoo out of Mumbai, India. With over 50,000 followers and more than 3,600 posts, the account covers major chess events, player interactions, and behind-the-scenes moments from tournaments around the world.

Lokesh is not a grandmaster or a professional commentator. He describes himself as someone who wants to be remembered as the greatest chess fan, and the content reflects that energy. The account focuses on real-world event coverage, particularly from the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League and Norway Chess, where Lokesh has had on-the-ground access as a community manager since 2023.

Before his Global Chess League role, Lokesh wrote content for Victorious Chess Academy and built connections across the Indian chess scene. He is a FIDE-rated player himself (ID 48780529), and ChessBase India has recognized him as one of Mumbai's most devoted chess fans. His content style blends tournament coverage with personal enthusiasm, making chess events feel accessible to fans who cannot be there in person.

Chess With Lokesh is especially valuable for anyone following Indian chess and the growing international chess event circuit. The account proves that you do not need to be a titled player to build a meaningful presence in the chess content world.
