Many new members have asked for links providing more information about Chess.com University. Below, I have included the most important links so you can learn more about what we do and what we offer!

 

In July, we organized the world's first-ever online chess camp featuring super-GM and 2012 Vice World Chess Champion Boris Gelfand:

We recorded the lectures from the camp and made them available for purchase shortly after the camp finished:

*Camp video recordings are on sale until August 16th, 2014. Prices increase on the 17th.

 

We have taught four college-like chess courses in the past. These courses are our best-selling product and are still available for purchase in the independent study format:

Last week, we announced our fifth college-like chess course which is scheduled to start on August 20th, 2014:

*At the moment, we do not have enough students registered in this course. Many Chess.com University members are busy during this time and enjoying summer activities. Please message me (GeniusKJ) or email kairavjoshi@chess.com if you are interested in taking this new course live. Depending on the kind of response we get over the next few days, we may delay or cancel this course.

 

Chess.com University also offers simuls with strong players such as our simul with GM Levan Aroshidze last month:

We hope to organize more simuls in the future, given there is enough interest.

 

Chess.com University has also offered many single-day chess seminars, live game analysis shows, and other services in the past. You can go through our previous news posts to learn more about what we've done in the past:

In September, we plan on organizing a two day, weekend online chess camp for youth players and those below 1100 USCF/FIDE level. We may also offer a rigorous chess prodigy program starting in October if there is enough interest. In October, we also plan on partnering up with schools and chess clubs to extend our services to a larger audience and help promote chess in schools.

Message me on Chess.com or email me at kairavjoshi@chess.com if you have any questions or suggestions.
