About This Topic

With players as young as 12 years old hitting the ranks of Grandmaster, we have to ask: How did they get there, and what are their methods? The secret is no secret. You've got to practice deliberately, play constantly, and review each match you win or lose to continuously improve your internal mental model of the game. Under the guidance of an expert mentor, you’ll explore classic opening moves, work toward the mid-game, and rack up more play time in a controlled setting, so you can continue to improve your game. Whether you're a novice or working your way up higher in the ranks, you'll have dedicated time to play and hone your skills.

You'll learn to:

  • Play the game while focusing on mechanics
  • Explore classic opening strategies
  • Review moves and games
