Best lessons on chess.com? (without videos)

Sort:
Bowser
I recently started the “pawn endgames: from beginner to expert” lesson hosted here on chess.com and found it incredibly useful. I particularly liked the fact that there were no videos to watch, and it forced me to actually read and understand the position rather than copy some moves I just watched in a video. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar lessons that don’t feature videos?

There are a number of lessons by that author, Thomas Wolski.

The lessons can be sorted by  date. Many of the older lessons have that style.

I may be wrong, but I think a lot of the older lessons predate chess.com. There was a product called "Chess Mentor" which I had on CD at around the year 2000 which had them on, and the old lessons on here are lifted from that.

I agree they are very good. As justbefair says, they are the oldest lessons and some are by Wolski. There are also some by Silman and some others. To find them, order the lessons by "Release Date" and go to the end. Then look for courses with a large number of lessons.

Thanks guys! Haha not sure why it didn’t come to me that I could sort by author to find similar ones.
