Continue watching

My dear friend and my rising champion!
Avo here, that same Grandmaster Avetik Grigoryan.

In two conditions, I’ll throw myself from the window.
1 - If you follow the course instructions and don’t cross at least an 800+ rating. 
2 - If you get bored at some point while watching the course. 

This is what I had in mind while preparing this course for you. 

But as I love my life and didn’t want to jump out of the window, I set myself a challenging task—to create the best, most fun, and most fundamental course for beginners. 

See more

Here are a few positions from the course:

The Rise of Champions: image 1The Rise of Champions: image 2The Rise of Champions: image 3The Rise of Champions: image 4The Rise of Champions: image 5The Rise of Champions: image 6The Rise of Champions: image 7The Rise of Champions: image 8

I wrote and rewrote, recorded and re-recorded, hesitated, and tested. Often, the solutions to explaining a difficult concept came to me while sleeping—and like that, for over one year! 

But okay, I also had lots of fun (as you’ll see) while preparing this for you. Most importantly, I hope that YOU will have fun, enjoy, laugh, and…learn. Eventually crossing at least 800+ rating.

Otherwise, at least buy me a parachute! 🙂
I live on the 10th floor. If I jump from there without anything, at minimum, it’ll hurt 😀 

So, my champions. My life is in your hands. Haha 😂 

Love you. And I’ll love you more if I’m alive.

With best wishes,
GM Avetik (or Avo, as my friends call me)

I starting watching this course when I first joined chessmood. I was so happy I already crossed the 750 mark when I realized I finished all the free sections. :( I was watching other free courses partly free courses but not so fine. My computer was shifting from place to place so after a long time 15th I opened to do the daily puzzle. This message kept popping up I ignored it a few times thinking it was just and ad. I couldn't ignore so I read it then I got so excited, 7 days free! I might just finish the rise of the champions course. But one day, internet issues it was day 6. Lost hope. But today day 7 I finished not full full but 1/2, 3/4 and got more knowledge than finishing 1 section. I wrote this before I played my game so hopefully 881 chess.com won't be stagnant. Course I wish i could give a million stars out of 5. So great for a beginner will be like lessons from the greatest place on earth, i expect intermediate fantastic, little big level great. After I become a GM i'll put a comment in the forum for you!

I saw your Dream variation of French Attack and i played that in my inter university tournament and i dominate game in opening that and win. My opponent is 1679 FIDE rating and i get shocked that by your dream variation i won the game and totally dominate my opponent. My opponent is shok how i played so well . I do not have any FIDE rating . After match he come to me and ask what variation you play and i said it is Grigoryan's variation. I tell him about chessmood he tried your dream variation and he won. Thanks coach Avetik for creating wonderful opening courses.

I wish I could have had this course sooner. It's everything you need as a beginner - and I think it's one of the best resources out there for the beginner level. You can tell how much heart and soul has gone into every single episode and that every detail has been taken care of. It was a pleasure to be able to follow this course and at the same time I was able to deepen my understanding of chess quite a bit. Thank you, Avo + team for this!

Gotta say, even though I'm only on secction 5, this is definitely a good course. My only problem is that with some of the checking puzzles, you can give a check that could possibly win a queen, or you can give a check where you just check. Apart from that, brilliant course, I can't see any blunders in making it.

Although my current FIDE rating is 1862 , i don't why i spending morning practice session with this course. I feel like it is filling all the gap of my chess knowledge. As I am an adult chess improver its seems that i am connecting my relation with chess if I would start at the age of 8 yrs or 10yrs perhaps. I am so happy with this course.

You guys have finally done it. The missing piece in ChessMood. Now it's perfect. Love the idea of the gambits. I never played them before and it's very fun and even as a 1300 elo player, I learned from it. The basic training on capturing is very useful as well. Eagerly looking forward to the upcoming sections. Thanks GM Avo! Best chess teacher

I do not know if I should give 5 Stars since I have not watched the full course. But I'm pretty sure and hopeful that it will be a good course. Let's keep those fingers crossed! But the reason why I'm leaving a view is to say that GM Avetik Grigoryan has admitted to cheating in this video course. Mostly with his grandmother it seems! Does this mean that he will no longer be accepted in tournaments for cheating scandal? :-P
admin image
GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Ahahahaha :) :) :) Don't do this! With this review you can confuse Google and ChatGPT... And what if someone asks "Has GM Avetik ever cheated", and the ChatGPT says "Yes!"

Hi Avo, what amazing course, even though I'm not at level 0 you opened my mind about openings and how to put the pieces well and simply; I really like the Gambits part, you explained them really well and in a simple and clear way ; I like its because I usually attack immediately, I love the dynamic game ,above all to attack with black; I finished the WhiteMood and Blackmood Openings, still have to assimilate at all, but with this course I'm starting to feel more sure in the opening phase. I wait anxiously the rest of the course soon. Avo.....as usually you're great! Thank you so much
admin image
GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Hey, hey, Riccardo! Thanks a lot, my friend! A lot! :) Yeah, I also feel that many 1,000 - 2,000 level players will benefit from some sections. And the section 11-15 will be very very deep and subtle, that even masters will benefit. Thanks again! Enjoy and have fun :)

I have been long waiting for this course to arrive to help teach my kids the fundamentals in the best possible way. Back then in april 2023 I got an reply from Lily on Discord that the Chessmood team was already working on it (my kids were 7 and 4 years old back then). Finally it is there, I have watched the videos and they are really funny, I enjoyed watching them. And so many puzzles added between the sections, I can see the enormous amount of work you and your team have put into this course! For my kids the first sections are now too simple, as they are rated above 900 and 1100 rapid on chess.com, so will skip these. But I will share some funny videos with them. I like the skits you made together with Gabuzyan and Lily. I hope the next sections will arrive soon, especially interested in the sections from 10 onwards. In the mean time we go through the first sections of tactic Ninja. Keep up the good work, I really like the way you logically and clearly explain the Why using an entertaining, funny and energetic presenting style. When this course is finished I am convinced this will be the best beginner chess course available and a perfect complement/match with all the other courses in the Rating Booster section.

GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Pim! Thanks for sharing this! Sorry for being late. But yeah... As you mentioned, we wanted to be it perfect-perfect, keeping balance with teaching in the most easy and logical way, and fun :) Our editing team is editing the other sections, and we'll upload them soon. Cheers to your kids!

This course is so much FUN. I don't actually belong to the target audience, my rating is over 800, but I wanted to check it out for my little niece. And I couldn't stop watching, nor could I stop laughing. And I did learn some things in the process. A lot actually. I also like this idea of ​​a gym, where you do simple exercises to warm up. I've done a few hundred, but I come back every morning to start my day with 100 simple puzzles. I haven't done the whole course yet, but I wanted to be the first to write a review. I'll definitely be back to do the rest. Check it out, it's worth your time even if you're over 800. And of course I recommended the course to my niece. Maybe I'll buy it for her.
