![]() ![]() Chessable PRO (about $4-$7/month) has some useful features for power users, otherwise probably not worth it for casual members. Best site for purchasing standalone courses, especially opening repertoires, as the spaced repetition training is hard to beat. They also sell standalone courses but the yearly membership gives you access to everything. In addition to opening repertoires they also have good courses about calculation, middlegames, endgames, etc. Great courses for advanced (1800+) players. Cost: Premium membership is about $130/year, though Chess24 often runs nice promotions during big events. ![]() Also has good ‘Lessons’, which teach concepts and strategy in an interactive way. You can watch the video for my full explanations, but I’ve also provided a quick summary of notes here: Online Sites Cost: Diamond Membership is about $100/year, cheaper options available Really deep video library with some really instructive coaches, including Kaidanov, Yermolinsky, Shankland, Bojkov, Khachiyan, Lenderman, and many more. With most of the chess world staying at home these days and many looking to use the extra time to improve their game, I felt it was a good time to make a video comparing the many different chess resources out there from a cost-effectiveness perspective. ![]() What follows is Kostya’s view of the lay of the chess educational landscape, and US Chess does not endorse or recommend any of these sites. He offered to go a step further, augmenting his thoughts as presented in the video with additional text for CLO readers. Editor’s Note: I saw this outstanding video on chess improvement tools from frequent Chess Life and Chess Life Online contributor Kostya Kavutskiy, and I asked Kostya if he minded if we shared it on our social media channels. ![]()
