Chessable is now part of Chess.com. A great addition! My reasons follow:
First, it’s a well-run site and I have had zero problems with it. The navigation in study programs has a low learning curve and the selection is fantastic. Just the free courses are amazing. (Mostly shorter versions of the larger courses but still viable.}
Second, Doesn’t break the bank. Courses run from zero to more but nothing is really outrageous. Of course the videos will run the price up but if you wait for the MANY sales and discounts they are will put together. Its hard not to buy to many! Kind of like chess books. You see one you want and its very tempting to press the get-it button. My average perchance I around 20 US dollars. But if you selective you can get some very nice courses.
The courses themselves are based on timed repetition. There are settings to adjust time and you can pause sections that just don’t interest you. Drill sections that are of more interest. Ie
I reloaded a section from one course because my Minor Piece endings were just plain bad.
Ideally, I am currently learning several courses.
One endgame course, completed but have it under a timed rotation.
One tactical course, completed and again in timed rotation.
Three opening courses.
One middle game course.
A couple courses I just like to look at about past players.
In most of these couses I just pause some areas to keep the repitions down to a manageable level. A great tool.
I will be very interested in how Chess.com is going to integrate this site.
