"After using Chessodoro for two months, I placed 3rd in my local tournament (my best result ever) and won $300, which more than covered my subscription. Chessodoro literally paid for itself!"
"I was stuck in 1700s for 6 months, Chessodoro helped me break 1800 for the first time. I'm still winning 80% of my games. The game reviews and check-ins were game-changers."
"Before I was hard stuck in 1200s, after 12 weeks I'm 1448 and still climbing. The training plan clearly pointed out my weaknesses and I started to train with purpose."

What our students say

Chess coaching done right

No one does chess coaching like the Chessodoro team. Now I know that when I spend time studying, it will be effective and I will see results if I put in the effort.

Now I know how to train

Chessodoro has provided me with the tools I needed to take my chess journey into my own hands. By providing a regimen curated by a master, they have given me the knowledge of what efficient training looks like.

This rewired my instincts

The training plan is excellent, I can tell that the coach put in time to examine my games and provide tailored feedback and advice. Tracking my progress on the site and having to meet certain goals each week is helping keep me accountable and consistent in my training, which is another area I struggled with previously. Already, following the planned activities, has rewired my instincts and helped me visibly improve.

Finally working on what matters

Having Aras available to answer questions and help me understand what I'm supposed to work on has been incredibly helpful. I feel like I'm no longer wasting time on things that won't actually improve my chess at this stage. I'd recommend Chessodoro to anyone who's serious about getting better and wants to train in a way that actually makes sense.

You don't need anything else

I never had a coach before. Probably never will because I just hate sitting on zooms. But personalized plans, personal analysis and check ins? You don't need more than that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about personalized chess coaching and Chessodoro.

How does this differ from hiring a chess coach?

Contrary to a chess lesson, our coaches are not waiting 15 minutes for you to calculate a sequence of moves. They are actively doing their work overseeing multiple students at the same time. That's how we make this work.

Can't I just hire a chess coach?

Absolutely! Hiring a chess coach is a great way to improve your chess. However, it can be quite expensive and usually requires a commitment to regular sessions. Chessodoro is for those who look for all the benefits of chess coaching without the commitment.

How do I know if I need a chess training plan?

If you cannot stick to a consistent training regime, are not quite sure which resources to use or just want an experienced chess coach to identify improvement areas in your game, then you could benefit from a personalized chess training plan.

Why can't I create a chess training plan myself?

You definitely can! It's great if you have already found what works for you and see the progress in your game. However, we're offering all around support on your journey through weekly and monthly personalized activities.

How do I know there's actual chess coaches working here?

If there still any doubts left after receiving your first training plan, the first week personalized analysis and games against the coach will be more than enough to convince you.

How do I join Chessodoro as a chess coach?

We're interested! Reach out to us through email of our social media channels.

Do you provide any improvement guarantees?

We also wish there was a magic pill for achieving chess improvement. However, the best we can do it set you up on a right path that is suitable for you. The rest is up to your hard work and dedication. We are here to make that journey easier and more efficient.

Do you provide the training materials?

No. We provide very specific and personalized guidance on using the resources within the training plan. We also provide links to the publicly available resources.
