Kennst du das? Du startest eine Online-Partie in der Hoffnung, dass dein Gegner genau die Variante spielt, die du gerade gelernt hast.

Deshalb fällt es selbst dann oft schwer, die Partie erfolgreich fortzusetzen, wenn man […]

¿Sabes cuándo juegas una partida online esperando que tu oponente entre en la línea que has estado estudiando, pero tarda horas en suceder y terminas teniendo pocas oportunidades de practicar posiciones específicas más allá de la teoría?

Do you ever start online games hoping your opponent will play the line you’ve been studying? Unfortunately, they usually don’t, and you don’t get many opportunities to practice specific positions beyond theory.

Eso ha […]

Bisher konntest du beim Lernen eines Chessable-Kurses nur jene Varianten mit dem MoveTrainer einüben und wiederholen, die der Autor zum Trainieren ausgewählt hatte. Zusätzliche anklickbare Nebenvarianten, die in den Kommentaren erwähnt wurden – also die typischen „Was passiert, wenn stattdessen dieser Zug gespielt wird?“-Fortsetzungen – konntest du zwar ansehen, aber nicht aktiv trainieren. Das haben […]

Getting an engine-approved edge is great.  But you’re not playing engines. You’re playing humans. And humans can be beaten in fun, creative ways no engine would ever suggest. This week, we’re looking at openings built to do one thing:  Get inside your opponent’s head! Before we dive in…  Our Rapid & Blitz Sale runs until May 10.  […]
