ChessMood is my top resource as an adult improver — my kids (1700 and 2200 FIDE Elo) love it too. Great content across all areas of chess and a friendly, active community. Highly recommended!

The videos can help playing chess better because it is practical. The coaches and GrandMaster tested it themselves, so they have deep understanding of their courses. It is structured in a good way that can help us fill the gaps and hollow blocks, so that we have better foundation to get higher skilled and better.

I have been part of the ChessMood family for more than five years, and I have stayed with them because of the consistently high quality of their material. Although I have not yet taken full advantage of everything they offer, even completing just one course fully gave me enough confidence to play the World Senior Championship last year, using their recommended openings with great success. Their courses such as Tactics Ninja and Mating Matador are truly outstanding; one of my youngest students, only six years old, has already reached a rating of 1100 largely by working through these programs. The “French and Dutch Attack under 2000” has provided a solid and practical repertoire for many of my students over the past few years. ChessMood covers every aspect of the game, including endgame technique, middlegame practice, and calculation. I was particularly impressed when, while studying one of the French Defence lines, I saw how they connected it to instructive examples from their Classical Games course. They even offer a “blunder-proof” course, further reinforcing their commitment to practical improvement. One of the most valuable features for me is their webinars, where grandmasters play their own repertoires live, clearly illustrating the connections between the opening, middlegame, and endgame. I am a lifetime member, and my only regret is that I did not have access to ChessMood when I was a child.

They have really amazing courses which are made only by Grandmasters which are explained really nicely, they have really nice blog in which you find many advises chess included but not only! I believe they also do they their best to grow their paltmost and their students ratings:) It is an amazing place and if you really take their advises and learn from courses your rating will grow and u get inspired and will have in addition lots of fun. Even though i did not follow all of their steps (probably like half of it) i still managed to climb from 1400 to 1600 in chesscom in crazy two weeks since i was obsessed with their courses at the beginning!

My son, now ten years old, has been a Chessmood member since 2022 (it's now March 2026)! I cannot speak highly enough about this company. The education is focused, well thought, and high quality. Literally years can be saved in one's chess education by simply following their guidance. Additionally, the access to the GMs, whether through 1-on-1 games and/or simuls, or during their student planning calls -- all of this is second to none! We even met the team when they visited NYC for a chess event. Beyond that, the "right mood, right mood" approach to learning and playing chess is very important, as it promotes a healthy attitude on and off the board. To top it off, their customer service is excellent; emails are responded to very quickly (and with lots of positive energy and emojis). My son is a lifetime member!

Chessmood is by far the best chess educational material I've ever come across, even as a fairly low rated player. Beside learning new (very fun) openings, I feel like I've understood more about chess in general than I hever had until then All in all, would absolutely recommend, 10/10

The clarity of the chess sessions and, in particular, the teaching method of the Chessmood GMs; the simplicity of the explanations of chess basics from beginner to advanced levels and beyond; the friendliness and closeness of the Chessmood family to its members. I am a ProLife member from about 2 years

After a break of almost 45 years of having stopped playing ands learning more about chess, I thought it would be great to restart chess for my coming retirement around 2019. After trying many different offered chess learning websites and club training classes and etc etc, around early 2022 I discovered chessmood and got immediately impressed by the way the courses were organised and different ideas and concepts were explained. Thus for a start I tried the 6 months pro membership and after about 2 years I used the proposed option for a lifetime membership. Great Value with lots of fun options and ongoing new classes and updates and on and on. Never regretted and will try to use it in the best way for the coming next years. Learning and improving with chessmood is fun around all the aspects of chess offered. (and while I feel that I understand much better today it will never end .. so what more does one want? Yes, a friendly helpful community of like minded people from all around the planet is also found with the additional offers in the forum discussion and life events and on an on. So yes give it a try and (use the sometimes great offers of monthly free tries etc etc) good luck for all.
