Everyone aspires to play the best move in chess. But playing for positions you excel in can be just as game-winning...

Which is the theme of our February roundup.

Kicking things off is our latest Variation Preview update. Now, buying a course gives back all of your free variation tokens. So you can keep sampling courses that tickle your fancy.

And you'll have plenty of titles to try!

Our Valentines Day Sale offers over 200 courses at up to 55% off

We also just announced the winners of the 2024 Chessable Awards.

Familiar names have returned and conquered new highs. But new authors have also made their mark!

And let's not forget this week's latest releases.

They'll leave opponents fumbling... while you hit them with fully analyzed sacrifices and sleek transpositions to an easy game.

Of course, you'll reach the end of your prep sooner or later. We covered that base with an intense calculation course. So you can find the best series of moves in nearly any position.

Check these out:

  1. Lifetime Repertoires: Torre Attack by GM Pepe Cuenca: The Torre Attack takes the game away from your opponents’ homework and into territory where you’ll be better prepared. Against pretty much any setup, you’ll play d4, Nf3 and Bg5... then pivot to favorable queen's pawn setups depending on Black's reply.
  2. Dethrone The King's Indian Part 2: Sidelines by GM Matthias Wahls: From a two-time German champion and reformed King's Indian Defense fanatic — the most definitive refutation of this club-favorite opening. Over 2,300 lines flip every trick and sideline by Black to your advantage!
  3. Killing it With The King's Gambit by GM Alan Pichot: Romantic chess is back with the 2024 Iberoamerican Champion. He breathes new life into the ancient piece sacrifices and lightning-fast attacks of the King's Gambit... transforming it into a complete, engine-powered repertoire for White after 1.e4 e5.
  4. Calculate Like A Beast: The Moranda Method by GM Wojciech Moranda: The Moranda Method breaks down calculation into 5 sub-skills for precision practice. Then it's 12 progressive sessions build your real-game grit. So you can power through the toughest positions, and predict the best series of moves.
  5. Anti-Sicilians with ...e7-e6 by IM Aljoscha Feuerstack: Tackle the anti-Sicilians with these dynamic antidotes! Their unifying plan is simple — get in ...d7-d5. Then unleash your pieces sitting behind the pawns. From the Alapin, Smith-Morra, to the Bowlder Attack, this anti-anti-Sicilian repertoire has your back!

All of the courses above come with our 30-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee — and so do the rest of our catalog.

So if you didn't find what you're looking for in today's roundup, head over to our shop where you can search over 700 titles. You might just find what you need!
