Success stories
ChessMood made me a much better chessplayer, and I never would have made FM without them.
I would have given anything to have ChessMood as a child...
Chess content - outstanding! On top of that amazing chess articles, themed webinars, Bundesliga, and thematic tournaments. And where else you can schedule a one-on-one meeting with a Grandmaster where you can hear personalized advice - simply priceless.
Excellent conceptual approach to the game with well-explained videos covering various aspects of chess from openings to middlegame strategy and endgames.
From the GM's genuine interest for the game and their willingness to respond to questions from all skill levels, ChessMood is a close-knit chess community and has become a platform for anybody to improve their skills.
Since I joined ChessMood, I have had the privilege of having structured training material and a structured study plan produced by GMs. With it, I managed to gain approximately 150 elo in 1 year with very few OTB tournaments (because of the pandemic lockdowns), despite having a full-time job and low spare time.
Since joining the ChessMood family almost 3 months ago, my online rating has improved by 200 points. I am now almost 1900, and yesterday, I drew against a GM with a 2465 rating in a 5 min game - my biggest achievement.
In just a month, I raised 250 points on chess. com from 1856 to 2107, and I can't explain my satisfaction when I play with my opponents, not like a cat with a mouse but really like a tiger and a mouse!
