a member just asked: Don't you think, that with all the folks on here... that the masters could get paid, we could all get better, for less? (maybe larger classes) ( let the"special" rich folks, take their own? i prefer to discuss this in a forum than in the group notes. here would be my answer: with these courses, we want to provide provide a more efficient education experience. we have some criteria to achieve that: - individual attention from the coaches - getting your questions answered - course goes at the right pace for you - students are working hard to match the work the instructor is putting in; they know they are not wasting their time, because the students are serious. to meet those criteria, in practice we need to: - keep class sizes small - limit classes to students who are committed to doing work - limit classes to students with a similar skill level (at least within the particular topic of the course) thus, the class sizes are expected (by me) to be between 8 and 20, although Danny is offering a class for 20-30, so maybe I underestimated a little. we also intend to have really good instructors who care a lot about their course, and put in serious work conceiving of the course, and then plotting out its details. Also, to keep up with all the students, lead forum discussions, post course materials, etc. requires a bunch of hours on top of the lecture time. Put those two factors together and you can conclude that we need to pay them a very good rate, in recognition both of their stature and market rate, and of the fact that we expect them to put their very best work forth. Put the whole thing together with a little math, and you'll see that the cost of the courses is about as cheap as could be. And that it comes out to be a terrific deal for the students, who pay in the range of 6$/hour for the teachers' work, much less than 1/10th of what they'd pay in private. You are all welcome to do some calculations yourself, and if someone then still wants to complain that chess.com doesn't deserve to earn a penny, despite all the thought and work that we put into coming up with this product, so be it. Maybe I'm all wrong about this. But in my opinion, for coming up with a terrific original product -- can't find anything like this anywhere in the history of chess teaching-- i'm fairly certain of that!! and for orchestrating a gigantic win-win situation for teachers and students; and for working to build the tools that will be used in the courses; and for paying for hosting; and handling organization, coordination, advertising, and transaction costs; plus our own [bad-smelling] sweat working on this... that it is fair for chess.com to earn some money.

There is this variant called horde. As you can see, white needs to mate the king before all of his pawns are taken.It looks easy, right? Wrong. If you think about it, if white trades most of his pieces,the back rank will be unguarded with no queen to protect it. So if blacks queen gets to the 1st rank, white is pretty much finished. If you want to play horde, just go to lichess.org and you can play horde. Tell me in the comment section about if you ever played horde and if you won! Chess.com staff, please read this carefully. Please try to make this mode in chess.com .

Hello everyone! (Agadmator's voice) I just finished watching Bobby Fischer Against The World. it's made by HBO, and it's a nice watch. Very moving, well directed, and very interesting. Hope you guys enjoy it if you haven't see before. Enjoy your Day

Hey CU, new member here. I made a post similar to this 1-2 days ago, but decided to delete it to protect my dignity. Anyways, that's not what i wanted to talk about. I've been playing chess for 2-3 weeks now, and my rating is freakishly low. I always lose the games I play, and I never win. I keep getting spanked by levels lower than me, and that's saying much for someone with around 200-300 rank. It's confidence breaking. I have no idea what to do, and I want to give up. If you guys have any advice, please let me know.
