What chessable course(s) are you working through?

I’m new to chessble and am not sure which course to start with. What do you guys think about chessable and what courses have you found helpful?

Bump

I think its not worth my money.

I stopped using it at some point because I didn't enjoy the interface, but I think that interactive format is really great in principle and I expect it to keep getting better. I bought a few courses but I realized that I enjoyed making studies here better. There's a good tactics course called Knights on the Attack which is free and I think it really helped me. There are some tactics courses based on specific openings which I think is a great idea, but I haven't tried any of them. By far my favorite course was a series called Visualise by Benedictine, but I think I bought it for less than $10 and it looks like the price has gone up, plus I think there are some websites where you can practice visualization for free now. But if you want to try a course there, I'd highly recommend that one.

Probably more relevant to ask in the Forum over there.

It is also very useful to explore which openings you might like, as most opening courses have short free versions that will go over a few main lines and explain some of the important overall themes of the opening.

There is lots of free material on chessable. They have “short and sweet” courses and stuff.

The classics that have been turned into chessable courses.

“100 Endgames you Must Know” ... for example.

Or just decide what you want to work on, and search for relevant material on that. You can read the reviews and the intended audience (chess ability wise) and go from there. I’m a big fan of chessable. Instead of driving an hour and a half to the only really chess based store near where I live to seek out good books (generic book store only have stuff like “chess for dummies” I find) I have access to a full library of interactive material.

There is really a lot of free material to explore on Chessable. For example the Botvinnik English by GM Simon Williams, and the Caro-Kann book by GM Erwin l'Ami. Of the paid books I found the Yusupov books good, as well as the 100 Endgames you must know by GM Jesus de la Villa.

I suggest to just start with any free book that you find slightly interesting and then use the Chessable tools to get a feel for what the options are, and get used to it. Note that you can "archive" books, so that the ones that you want to work on are in your overview all the time. You can also re-start from scratch with a book with the "reset all progress" button.

@Sheepbrain This is good advice.
