To all chessplayers,We are delighted to inform you that there is now a
Chess University available at our site. We hope the Chess
University to be as interesting and useful as possible to all players
independently of their playing level. The lessons are prepared and written by top Russian
coaches such as GM Alexander Kalinin (also key to the instructive
material in the programs Strategy 2.0, and Encyclopedia of Middlegame I and II), IM
Jaroslav Ulko, IM Alexei Mitenkov, and IM Alexander
Alpert.
New lessons will appear approximately every one or two weeks.Each lesson will consist of
two parts: a lecture on the lesson of the day and problems for you to resolve. Answers to
problems from a lesson will appear with the next new lesson. All registered users will be
informed of the appearance of new lessons on the site. If you haven't registered yet,
please do at the site,
so that you don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to take your game to the next
level. If there are any subjects you would especially like to see covered in a lesson,
don't hesitate to e-mail us with Chess University in the message's
subject area.
