Hi everyone!
We will use this forum to post updates on the Sunday Rapid tournaments, such as when the fair play review was completed, when the prizes were awarded, or any other updates we make. As always, if you have any questions or comments, we are always very interested in hearing from you!

The "Accomplishments and Celebrations" forum is a great way to celebrate and share your own chess achievements / progress. Are there other members of the Improvers Club that have supported your chess journey that you'd like to recognize / give a personal shoutout? Perhaps you have found someone else's journey particularly inspiring and would like to recognize them. This forum is intended to share our appreciation of other members/contributors in the Improvers Club.
I'll start by giving all of you who are reading this a warm shoutout! It's wonderful to see how supportive and encouraging this community is, and it's an honor supporting you along your chess journey.

Hey Improvers! I’m NM Dane Mattson, Coach Dane. This forum is dedicated to chess improvement questions you have, either about general improvement or about specific questions you have about positions or games. I’ll be monitoring this forum along with NM Jeremy Kane and others, and we’ll do our best to help out! We also highly encourage the community to share their perspectives and thoughts - I’m sure in many cases, the community will have even better insight than we do

Have an interesting problem - either from your own game or from elsewhere - that you want to share? Post it here and challenge the community! Be sure to state which side is to move, and we encourage you to post the game information if you have it and consider a note about which rating level the problem may be good for.

Chess is a demanding game, besides that, what happens in our lives can deeply affect our chess.
This is a space where all of us can share our frustrations and listen to each other without judgement, asking/sharing good advice to handle such situations.

What are your favorite chess quotes?
Share it below and a reason for why you love it then let's discuss so that we don't end up in a deep, dark forest where 2+2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.

Do you have a favorite chess book or course that you've learned a lot from? Let us know here!
I'll get us started with my favorite chess book, the Seven Deadly Chess Sins by GM Jonathan Rowson, which is a fascinating look at decision-making, mostly relevant for classical chess.
My favorite endgame book is Concise Chess Endings by GM Neil McDonald, which should be helpful for most levels and time controls.
For something positional, check out GM Johan Hellsten's, Every Pawn Structure Explained.
There are tons of other great books and courses out there. What do you recommend?

Hi wonderful community,
I'm looking for a chess coach to help me improve and achieve my goal of reaching 2000 ELO in Rapid. Currently, I'm at 1650, and I’m eager to deepen my understanding of mid-game and endgame strategies.
I would greatly appreciate finding a free coach who can play games with me, provide constructive feedback, and recommend books or other learning resources to enhance my progress.
Your guidance and support would mean the world to me. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in mentoring or know someone who might be.
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
