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 at least 3 instructors present at the facility during each lesson, ensuring a supportive learning environment.

Student's Level - our curriculum is divided into 6 groups:

  • Beginner: 0 - 399 USCF
  • Novice: 400 - 799 USCF
  • Intermediate: 800 - 1099 USCF
  • Advanced: 1100 - 1399 USCF
  • Challengers: 1400 - 1699 USCF
  • Expert: 1700+ USCF
