Sorry, I don't have experience with it so I don't know.
I remember this guy making a blog post about it though. He's 1900 USCF if that helps

I used it for the French Defense, but I like your Charlotte Blog much better. Some of the free options on chessable are spotty and linear, in my opinion.

The ones I was looking at were the 3 Chess Calculation Training books by Thinkers Press, the one on the French Rubinstein, and then was looking at what they had on the English Opening and saw these random non-published items. The first 4 was trying to see if there was a benefit or drawback compared to Kindle or hard copy. The others was wondering if they were worth anything or cheap garbage that was so bad it could not make it to publishers.

I have some members in my club that really seem to like their options and all of them have bought multiple books.
My understanding is that you can play out variations directly from the interface, so it isn't just a book when you buy them.
Has anybody here used Chessable?
Is there any benefit to getting a published book in chessable format? Is it any different than getting an ebook on a Kindle?
Are non-book publications reputable? Or are they garbage written by nobodies? For rxample, Chessexplained's English or A Master's Guide to Neutralizing the English with 1...e5 by a no name FM. Sure, he is an FM, but that does not mean he can write. I wonder if non-published books are poor quality and that is why nobody like Everyman or Quality Chess or New In Chess would take them?
I see the Beginner, Casual, etc, but nothing that indicates if Advanced is over 1500 or over 2200. It is merely a relative term when no further detail is specified.
Was wondering if anyone had more insite on Chessable.
