Chessable?

Sort:

I've only just now noticed that under Learn, Chess.com proposes Chessable.

Can one actually learn more on Chessable than from all the lessons and videos here on Chess.com?

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question; I'm just wondering what the learning advantage is of Chessable over Chess.com and why Chess.com even proposes it.

I'm more or less an intermediate beginner, not new to chess but far from advanced.

I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice.

Chessable is way better for learning. They had scientists and looked at lots of scientific studies on the best way of remembering things like chess and they figured out spaced repetition is the best for that. And the entire chessable site is about turning books and other courses into that format.

Chessable also has a lot of great free courses, while on chess.com you can get almost nothing for free. 

Second this. Some of the free courses are amazing.

Yes, I personally have a membership on Chess.com, but you get unlimited puzzles on Lichess and free lessons on Chessable

The membership on Chess.com is just a little bit useless, asides from the coach explanations and analysis engine.

As a Chessable author myself, I would warmly reccomend you this platform. The MoveTrainer is one of the best way to learn openings, and you can find almost every topic there. And as it was mentioned above, if you don't want to spend money on buying courses, you can find great free courses as well.
