Based on our users’ request, we started developing a new opening course for beginners, called “My first 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 “My first opening repertoire” in August 2020.

Please, check our sample lesson below, and tell us what you think about our method.

Bemutatkozik az országos Te-jössz! sakk-logika verseny 2019 győztese!

 „Hol volt, hol nem volt, az Óperenciás tengeren is túl, volt egy osztály. Egy osztály, amelyik okos, csak egy kicsit bolondos.„ Az elmúlt két évben számos videonk kezdődött így. Meséltünk a barátságról, a pénzről, az internetről. Mese közben jobban megismertük egymást, egyre bátrabbakká váltunk. Közben jókat nevettünk.

Kik is vagyunk mi? Debrecenben tanulunk, egy híres mesemondóról (Benedek Elek) elnevezett iskolában, második osztályban.  Mesés az életünk is. Hiszen hála természetes kíváncsiságunknak nagyon sok mindent kipróbáltunk. 

OLVASS TOVÁBB!
