“I personally recommend this source to almost all my students. It can be a great complementary addition to the daily chess routine. There is no excuse not to find 8 minutes daily to watch a very instructive video with detailed topic explanations of Grandmaster!”

GM Boris Avrukh

This course has 365 short lessons, each explained by a Grandmaster in around 7 minutes – covering different topics such as – openings, middlegames, endgames, tactics, etc. 
Every short lesson here will give you a practical nugget, like an important rule, a typical idea, that you can immediately start implementing in your game. 

At the end of each lesson, there’s a short test to check if you’ve digested the idea properly. The answers to all these tests you can find in a separate video.

Ready? 
Sit back, relax and start watching!

What you'll learn

  • A practical chess idea, concept, typical plan, psychological hack explained in as little time as possible.
  • Concepts like ‘Show your cards’, ‘Fundamental Defense’, ‘Positional Pin’ that aid practical decision making.   
  • Common patterns that aren’t covered in chess literature but click instinctively in a stronger player’s mind.
  • Strategies to deal with common chess questions like – ‘How to break solid positions’, ‘How to attack with opposite color Bishops?’, ‘When to fianchetto the Bishop?’ etc. 
  • Common and rare ideas used in attack, defense, tactics, openings, middlegames and endgames.

Very unique thinking of putting 365 lessons in this course as there are also 365 days in a year. Just by looking at this course I knew this was a really good course! KEEP IT UP!:) Just to say this is a pretty long course!

1 year later ... Almost at the end but what an amazing course. I learned so much from these short video's, unbelievable. I probably forgot half of it already and some were really hard but that's ok. I'm going through them again and again. What's 5-10min every morning? There is no excuse not to watch it! Halfway I started noting down important things from each course, so now I'll add the first "half" to that list. See you next year! :-)

I loved it! It was a great way to start the day but the only problem was I could not find the answers to the puzzles at the end of the video.

Katya, it covers after every 30 daily lesson.

great course and feeling good after arriving at #365! and the last one was surprising. Seems there are far more hidden gems in and fine details of the 365 lectures which I failed to understand. (Guess i need to start again with #1 tomorrow (well may be only next year but may be this does not make a difference smile ). Thanks again for another super course.

These daily lessons are a gem that few people know about. I recommended them to many lower rated guys, so many useful, practical patterns from all aspects of the game, some if which I didn't even know and learned! Rewatching this now 2nd time and I even made some excel sheet and grouped those patterns in some categories to easier remember, repeat when I need it. Awesome work Chessmood!
