Memberships can be cancelled at any time, but there is no cashback or refund.
Online Training is available to both our Digital and Grandmaster Members. The training sessions consist of an instructor introducing a topic, followed by students applying the learned material through practice games and engaging in puzzle solving. While the lessons cover the same material as our In-Person sessions, they are shorter in duration and do not include Open Play and Monthly Check-Ins.
In-Person Training is available to our Grandmaster Members only. During the lessons, our instructors deliver a lecture on a specific topic, followed by students putting their newfound knowledge into practice through interactive game sessions and puzzle solving contests. We have 2 instructors present at the facility during each lesson, ensuring a supportive learning environment.
Student's Level - our curriculum is divided into 5 groups:
- Beginner: 0 - 399 USCF
- Novice: 400 - 799 USCF
- Intermediate: 800 - 1199 USCF
- Advanced: 1200 - 1599 USCF
- Expert: 1600 - 2000 USCF
