Online Chess Classes

I have decided to start online chess classes on a more systematic basis – much like an online chess school.

Phase 1: General classes start on April 25/27 in 2026. These classes do not have a fixed curriculum – instead, new material will be presented each week:

  • ALL Beginner Level (100-500)
  • ALL Intermediate Level (500-1,000)
  • ALL Advanced Level (1,000-1,500)
  • Find The Plan (1,500-1,800):
  • Anchored & Double-Edged Bishops (1,800+)

Complex Endgames in the Marshall Chess Club

White to move

An online class by me starts on Monday in the Marshall Chess Club and runs for 5 Mondays. The dates are 10/28 – 11/4 – 11/11 – 11/18 – 11/25 at 6-7pm. Sign up for the online class using this link:

The Marshall Chess Club Calendar

Here is a description of the online class:

Complex endgames are endgames with at least 2 pieces, with elements of the middlegame, and where difficult decisions still need to be made in terms of exchanges and pawn advances, before the position settles into something more familiar in terms of basic or technical endgames. We analyze games from participants, if submitted. Hand in at least 3 days before the day of class. Otherwise, we will analyze interesting endgames from chess history.

Checkmate Quiz 1 & 2

My new book series about checkmates with names has been launched! The first 2 books have been published, the third one is on the way and will appear later in 2024.

Checkmate Quiz is a new way of presenting checkmates. Rather than just solving the checkmating puzzles, the correct name of the mate must be chosen from a list and match the position for extra points.

The Introduction in Checkmate Quiz 1 takes the reader on a tour de force through the history of naming checkmates and presents the most important 61 checkmates based on 5 main categories.

Get the books in our Etsy store.
