April 2011 News: my instructional chess app "Chess U", more than a year in the making, has arrive on iTunes for iPhone and iPad. Go get it for free. The web page including a product video is: http://www.seventhrank.com/

We have courses on Rook Endings, Play Like Anand, Play Like Tal, and a free course on Attacking. We also have coming a course on the 10 Most Famous Games of all time (Classics 101) as well as a course later this summer by GM Perelshteyn on the Accelerated Dragon. Also planned are beginner courses for basic checkmates and so forth.
