Shall we do the community Arena Tournament today? I am thinking 5+0 of 1-hour Arena. Let me know if you have other format suggestions. I will be giving out memberships in prizes. Starting at 4 pm CT. Come join the action if you are able to!

Fun endgame position that I saw posted by legendary Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman.

Hi Everyone -- I am glad you're here! This community is for chess enthusiasts who want to learn, grow, level up and appreciate the game we all love. I'm Zura — International Master, coach, and fellow chess addict chasing the Grandmaster title. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students (from beginners to the world’s youngest GM!) — and now, I’m building this space to bring that energy to all of you. ✅ Weekly lessons, discussions & improvement challenges ✅ Class replays, study guides & event announcements ✅ A supportive space to ask questions, share games & connect with others ✅ Behind-the-scenes from my tournaments, streams, and coaching journey Here’s how you can get the most out of this group: 1. Introduce yourself in the comments – rating, your chess goals and anything else you want to share. 2. Ask questions anytime – nothing is too basic or too deep. 3. Engage regularly – like posts, share thoughts, and support others. The more active you are, the more you'll grow. 4. Check the Classroom & Calendar tab often – that’s where the good stuff lives. We’re all here to improve, stay inspired, and push each other forward — both on and off the 64 squares. So whether you’re here to become a master or just enjoy the game more deeply — welcome 🙌 Drop a comment below to say hi 👋⬇️ Who are you & what brings you here? — Zura
