The most effective method to improve your chess
Is your rating stuck, or has it started going backwards? Tried books, courses or coaching without making much progress? Let’s fix it together!
Watch courses by Grandmasters!
With opening, middlegame, and endgame courses
Watch 500+ hours of step-by-step courses, to improve your openings, middlegames, and endgames. Unlike others, all of our courses are made only by Grandmasters, updated weekly, and suitable for players rated between 1,000-2,700 online.

I am impressed by ChessMood Grandmaster analysis of games and openings! I've come across many, many other online resources for openings and post game analysis and some are great...however ChessMood has a consistent pattern of high quality that is not found in any other place!

Practice and apply your studies
With our streams & webinars
Apply what you’ve learned from our courses during our streams and webinars. Now for the best
part. We only stream what we teach so you can improve your understanding of key
positions,
memorize the lines, and see how our openings work against opponents of all levels.

No other site has an extensive opening repertoire that is not only explained in deep detail, but the Chessmood GMs also demo these openings in live streams against all skill levels!

Fix your mistakes and raise your rating
With our forum, webinars, & articles
Watched one of our courses and still have questions? Did your opponent play a bad move but you
couldn't find the right way to punish them? Ask us in the forum or during our streams and get
answers directly from our Grandmasters.

Being a chess coach myself, I've never seen anyone so supportive, not just when you have a chess question, but in life trouble, they will help you as well.
