New to chess as a busy adult?

Beth Harmon only lost four games in The Queen's Gambit, so I figured my path would be smooth sailing. It wasn't. As a working adult starting from scratch, I tried every training method out there. Some worked. Some didn't. This course lets you skip the trial and error and go straight to what works, mindset included.

Chapters you won't find anywhere else

Find Your Hero

Find a stronger player and borrow their style, their methods, even their openings.

The Rule of 3

How many times do you need to fail? The answer, and how to use it on your own journey.

The Adult Improvement Plan

A detailed plan you can bend to your schedule. I did the hard part; you follow it through.

69 “Did Omar get it right?” puzzles. Each one shows two moves: the one I played and one I didn't. Your job is to tell whether I made the right call or find the improvement.
