Hey everyone 👋 I want to share a quick update on what we’ve been working on behind the scenes. We’ve started building out the Classroom, beginning with a new course called Chess Fundamentals. This course is designed as a visual reference library.You’ll find real board positions with images that you can study, pause, and try out yourself.There are already a few example lessons live, and this course will be updated daily over time. 📚 What’s Coming Next Alongside Chess Fundamentals, we’ve laid out the full structure for all upcoming modules: - How to Think in Chess (Foundation) - Blunders & Board Awareness - Tactics That Actually Matter - Middlegame Plans & Strategy - Endgames You Actually Need - Practical Improvement System - Psychology & Competitive Chess - Bonus: Game Reviews & Case Studies These modules will be unlocked gradually, not all at once.The goal is to build things properly and avoid information overload. 🧩 From Today Onward Starting today, you can expect: - Daily chess puzzles - Positions to think about and discuss - Practical questions, not just answers - More frequent classroom updates Nothing fancy.Just consistent, useful work that actually helps you improve. 🤝 How You Can Use This Community You don’t need to be active every day to benefit. But if you want to get more out of it: - Try the positions in Chess Fundamentals on your own board - Share your thoughts in the comments - Ask questions when something isn’t clear This space is meant to be practical, calm, and honest. More coming very soon.Thanks for being here and for your patience while we build this the right way ♟️ Also we would very much appreciate some feedback!

Hey everyone,we know our team has been quiet over the past few weeks, but we’re excited to finally share what we’ve been working on. We’re announcing a major new chapter for our chess community. We are officially rebranding and changing our name to Premove Academy. This rebrand is more than just a name change. It’s a shift toward building a structured chess academy focused on real improvement, consistency, and long-term growth. What’s changing and what’s coming: 1. Academy structure & clear vision Premove Academy will operate with a clear learning path, making it easier for members to know what to study, when to study it, and why it matters. 2. High-quality, structured content We’ll be introducing organized lessons, training themes, and improvement concepts instead of random posts — so progress is intentional and measurable. 3. Live chess sessions (twice a week) We will be hosting 2 live chess sessions every week, focused on: - practical improvement - opening ideas and middlegame plans - real-game decision-making More live sessions, special events, and new formats will be added after the New Year. 4. Weekly community features We’re launching recurring features to build consistency and engagement, including: - Game Review Friday – submit your games and receive structured feedback - themed training weeks (openings, tactics, endgames, mindset) - interactive challenges and practical exercises 5. Progress tracking & badges Members will be able to earn badges that reflect progress, activity, and milestones inside the academy. Introducing a Paid Membership Tier To support higher-quality content, more frequent live sessions, and the onboarding of experienced mentors, we will be introducing a paid membership tier. The free community will continue to exist and remain valuable.The paid tier is designed for members who want deeper learning and faster improvement. Paid members will unlock: - advanced lessons and structured courses - exclusive live sessions and in-depth analysis - deeper game reviews and long-term improvement plans - direct access to mentors and academy resources

During the Cold War, their matches were seen as symbolic political duels: - Karpov represented discipline and the Soviet establishment. - Kasparov symbolized innovation, freedom, and reform. Despite their fierce rivalry, both players later developed mutual respect for each other. 💬 Question for you: Do you think you share more traits with Karpov’s discipline or Kasparov’s creativity and drive for change?
