JJ Lang, Julia Rios

Are you tired of keeping your chess books by your bedside table, next to your feelings journal? If so, we would recommend moving some of your study material to Chessable, whose interactive approach to learning is designed to reinforce ideas that would be otherwise easy to gloss over. This is why we especially recommend courses on strategy and endgames, which become much easier to learn when we treat them as drills. Here’s a small selection of courses we like, from courses JJ uses in their lessons with beginner students (common chess patterns, master your chess, CPR center) to courses Julia and JJ are each working on now.
