Why Chessable?
Chessable focuses on a science-based approach to learning, featuring repetition at optimized intervals to make sure you retain all of your new knowledge. Beyond simply watching the videos, you'll get to practice the moves and be challenged to find the solution yourself. After that, the gamified Chessable format encourages you to repeat the process until the correct moves are second nature to you.
It's also a great way to familiarize yourself with this incredibly useful way of improving your chess; Chessable is full of hundreds of courses—free and paid—that will help you level up your skills.
"One of the first contributions we made to the chess world early on was our Everything You Need to Know About Chess video series published here on Chess.com and YouTube. Millions of views later, we realized that so many beginners connected with this topic and content, but they lacked the tools to practice the positions!", said Danny Rensch.
"I'm so excited to be able to remake this course, refresh some of the material (even for the OGs here!), and add the Chessable tools to go with it. I'm not sure there will be a better way for beginners to give Chessable's learning tools a try, and I hope they do."
