I joined ChessMood in January 2023, and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my chess! I’m a chess enthusiast from France. Like many others, I spent years flitting from one book to another, bouncing from one video to the next, trying different methods, and taking various courses with different coaches… And then one day, I discovered ChessMood! ChessMood is a complete learning platform with everything you need in one place. It covers all aspects of the game: Hours of step-by-step, practical opening courses, fully explained, with plenty of model games recorded during live sessions by ChessMood coaches. There are also many modules dedicated to tactics and strategy, as well as hours of endgame courses covering must-know positions and structured final roadmaps. Also strong focus is given on psychology and mental toughness. What makes ChessMood so special is that, for the first time, I truly feel like I have received all the keys to improve with confidence. It requires hard work, but my overall chess understanding has already changed. Congratulations for this fantastic tool and to the great team behind (Avo, Gabu, Lily and team !)

ChessMood provides a unique experience in the world of chess instruction! I am a novice/beginner chess player. I am also serious about the objective to improve my chess play. After spending considerable time exploring tools/instructors/sites devoted to chess I “stumbled” across ChessMood. This took the form of exploring one of their courses (at no charge) for a limited time. And, surprise of surprises - they actually have a human being who will respond to your questions! Based on my experience, I will give anyone interested in ChessMood some advice: 1) You should be serious about improving your chess play 2) You should have the patience to put in the time and effort necessary for that improvement. Good Luck!!

Great collection of amazing resources for chess improvement.

Great content, they treat you like family, care about every customer. Been with them already a few years with a life time suscription, best decision ever.

The courses offered are very well designed and address players of different levels. Requests have always been answered on time and the content is constantly growing. I also like the events although I rarely find the time to participate.

Both for beginners and masters, ChessMood is the only school ever needed. Please note I don’t use the word “course” as ChessMood is far beyond a course; it really is an active school. I’ve tried many courses and education programmes, and none of them can ever be compared to ChessMood: (1) The contents are very rich and full, (2) More importantly, the contents and lesson sequences are very efficiently designed to ensure step-by-step chess evolution. These guys know how to teach and develop students - perhaps the most crucial element! (3) ChessMood offers a certain style and approach to play chess, hence the term “school”, (4) The style taught by ChessMood is not only very enjoyable, but also does really increase one’s chess ability and knowledge, (5) Finally, ChessMood has an active community which comes together and under the live guidance of grandmasters, games are played and reviewed, further concretizing the style taught in lessons. I’m telling you, you’ve never seen anything like ChessMood in the endless world of chess education..

I joined ChessMood in August 2023 when my rating was 1500, and I’ve since climbed to 1850. The biggest difference between ChessMood and other platforms is the quality and longevity of their content. ​Unlike many creators who rush out a new opening course every week, ChessMood puts significant effort into every release. They focus on concepts that actually stick. "Silent Strategy" is a personal favorite because it provides foundational knowledge that lasts forever, rather than just a "trick" opening that loses its value quickly. ​Beyond the courses, the community is incredibly friendly and helpful. I actually met another student through the platform who eventually became my coach. His guidance has helped my progress immensely, and it’s a testament to the high caliber of players this platform attracts. If you want a disciplined, high-quality approach to chess and a supportive environment, I can’t recommend them enough.

ChessMood is a unique chess learning resource covering all areas of the game with grandmaster video instruction. In particular, they have a suggested (aggressive) repertoire which is backed up by interactive sessions twice a week based on their grandmasters playing the openings. I don’t know anywhere else you can find such instruction. My particular favorites are the Tactics Ninja and Mating Matador courses which teach and test all the tactical and mating patterns. More is to come as they invest in AI based methods to improve the learning experience. I would recommend anyone gives it a try; if not convinces take advantage of the next trial period when they open up all their courses for a short period of time.
