The LearningChess Norwegian version launched just six months ago, but we have already received a lot of positive feedback from coaches and home users who bought access to the courses and the Learning Management. However, the biggest surprise was a review in the latest issue of the Norwegian Chess Magazine (Norsk Sjakkblad).
The author, Mr. Arne Danielsen, already captured the essence of LearningChess in the “Do you want to be a good player quickly?” title. That is: “Improve your chess effectively with high-quality chess lessons based on our interactive teaching method.“
For those of our readers who do not have the opportunity to read the article (in the original Norwegian), we summarize it below. This can also help coaches and chess fans who did not have access yet but want to understand how LearningChess can support them.

Based on our users’ request, we started developing a new opening course for beginners, and blitz players, called “Active opening repertoire”. We still recommend that first, you learn the logic behind chess and the basic moves from our Beginner course, before mastering any openings. Moreover, a solid middlegame and endgame knowledge are also essential, which you can learn from the Intermediate and Advanced courses.
However, if you want to become a successful player in today’s computerized chess world, you also need to put emphasis on your opening strategy. That is why we are launching the “Active opening repertoire” in September 2020.
Please, check our sample lesson below, and tell us what you think about our method.
