Our presentation starts on December 6, 11:00 GMT.
LearningChess regularly attends the London Chess Conference since 2014. We introduce our new developments and results each year, and the conference is also a great opportunity to meet our existing and new customers in London.
This year everything has changed…
UPDATE: Our blog entry from 2015 received special actuality today. The People Magazine called us a few weeks ago that they would like to use one of our earlier blog post photos in their article about John Leguizamo’s Critical Thinking movie, which tells a real life tale about teens of color achieving against the odds.
Mr. Shamin Dulal Achinthaka De Moraes from Negombo Chess Academy and LearningChess signed a distributor agreement for Sri Lanka.
The goals of the cooperation:
Based on our users’ request, we developed a new opening course for beginners, and online 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 launched the “Active opening repertoire” in September 2020.
Time-to-time, we share with our readers the best practices of using LearningChess scholastic and chess club version around the world.
We fly to Norway now, and visit the Løten Junior High School and the Greveløkka Children’s Chess Club. We have interviewed Mr. Trond Nerland, teacher and coach, who uses LearningChess to improve the chess skills of his 8-16 years old students in both places.
In the interview, Trond points out interesting differences in teaching chess in schools and chess clubs.

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.
