It's great to see all the interest here. I suppose we'll try it out! Stay tuned for updates.

@eryxc,
I guess nothing as far as the game analysis service is concerned. We do offer some free video lessons and free live lessons now and then.
I know but it is boring

Eryxc, even at your age there are plenty of ways to earn the money you need to do the things you want. I applaud you for wanting to improve your chess and your mind (instead of wanting money on shiny things), but "I have no money" is not an excuse. The right question is "how can you earn the money to do this?"
No one is too young. At 7-8 years old, I earned money by shining shoes and washing stuff at home. My sisters at 10 made cookies at home and sold them to their friends during recess. You can set up your own small business selling whatever product or service you do well, or you can get paid by working for others.
"I have no money, therefore I can't get (or do) what I want" is a mental blunder. Try "I have a goal but no money, therefore I will come up with a way to earn what I need" instead.

This comment is gold. I agree 100%. Similarly, when I was young, I think around 10, I undercut the school's vending machine and sold packs of Juicy Fruit gum. The vending machine charged around $0.60 for a pack whereas I was able to buy in bulk for $0.10 from a grocery store and sell to fellow classmates at $0.50.
I was able to turn $10 into $40, $100 into $400, etc., that way! Now, wait a minute. Why didn't I turn $10 into $50 and $100 into $500? Well, that's because I ate a lot of gum myself which reduced my profits but it allowed me to get through some boring classes . :---)

This message is to both eryxc and Genius. If eryxc can somehow verify his age to the satisfaction of Genius I will pay for three months of a premium membership or three months of The Prodigy Program Lite for him. When I was 14 I had an impossible situation to deal with. If this guy is truly without resources NOW and has the desire to learn and spend his time in a constructive way I want to help. Genius please see what you can come up with.
How do I prove?
Thanks MaxnLeo!

Ha... love MaxnLeo's way of thinking. I'll follow his good example and donate another three months of the Prodigy Program Lite in the hope that a longer duration will make it a more valuable experience for Eryxc.
I would also politely suggest to Eryxc that, with rare exceptions, it's almost always possible to do more than you thought you could. But the first and most critical step is to change from saying "I can't" to asking "how can I..." and then having fun finding answers for that question. It's never easy, but it's almost always _possible_.

Ahem... I believe it is time to start some Chess University Scholarship / Sponsorship programs too for promising youth students?
@MaxnLeo, how thoughtful and generous! Thanks for offering that. Based on our prior interaction with eryxc, it's safe to assume that he is very young.
@Rodolfopaiz, that's awesome, thanks! :-)
@eryxc, please talk to your parents about this and send me an email at Kairav@ChessUniversity.com with your real name and some way to verify identity and age, as the donors have requested. I think @MaxnLeo and @Rodolfopaiz should explore ways to have you contribute to the chess community in some way as well. What can you do to help other children learn chess? Can you volunteer your time to teach rules and basics to kids now and then?
sure
Hello everyone!
This question is meant for our students as well as any other Chess University group members.
In the Prodigy Program, we've personally analyzed and annotated around a thousand games of our students. We believe this is one of the best ways to identify patterns in students' play and give them proper suggestions for improvement.
However, we haven't offered this service outside the Prodigy Program so the question is, should we? Would you be interested in purchasing game analyses packages to get personalized feedback from us?
The current plan is to offer this to players rated below 1800 USCF/FIDE at these prices:
1 Game - $19
4 Games - $65
Students could simply send us links to online games or email us a PGN file and we would email back the annotated games with suggestions and feedback. Let us know if you're interested!
