👉 [Book Your Free Chess Coaching Session] In this session, we’ll get to know each other and go over one or two of your recent games to identify key areas for improvement. I’ll learn about your goals, answer your questions, and share some of the exact methods that helped Andy Woodward become the youngest Grandmaster in the world and Grayson Rorrer earn the International Master title—along with insights I have shared with over 100 other students I’ve had the privilege to coach. We’ll also build a personalized study plan together. I’ll recommend what to focus on, provide study materials if needed, and show you how I can keep you accountable along the way. Looking forward to meeting you and helping you on your chess journey. Let’s get it!

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
