What’s up everyone! My name is Steve and I’m from New York. I started playing chess in a chess club at my elementary school for a couple of years and then didn’t play again until about 5-6 years ago. I’ve played roughly 6,000 games over those 6 years but only have a 50% win rate. My highest ELO was 1102, but for the most part I stay around 1,000…

Hi Everyone. I’m John from Southern California. I’m 54 and have always enjoyed playing chess casually, and now think it is equally important to keep my brain challenged at my age. My ELO is 1137 on Chess.com. My chess preference is to long castle with either color. Middle game is decent. My pawn endgame needs a lot of help.

Hey Nelson, loving the course so far. The only problem that I have with it is, it causes my grass to get long and dishes to pile up in the sink.

Almost up to my best-ever bullet rating. Reached 1,052 this morning after a 90.8% accuracy (Chess.com).

Used the Owen’s defense provided in this course, followed the basic principles for the opening, then the middle game tactics

Hi Nelson,

What is your recommendation of the daily amount of lessons a sub 1000 elo student should normally have for the education to be the most effective?

Thank you for the course! @ChessVibes

Hi all, my name is Bernard, from Ireland and delighted to be here. I’m playing chess for a couple of years and reached over 1100elo on chess.com last year. Lost around 100 elo since and stuck around 1000 elo now. I find I tend to play a little better in unrated games. I’m a big fan of chessvibes and I’m really excited about this course.
