ChessMood can pump up your chess rating.

Just like it’s helping its students raise 500 points in 1 year, go from 1900 elo to IM in 1 year.

Imagine an online chess university.

Here you can watch GM courses on openings, middlegames, endgames, tactics, and on any other chess topic.

On top of that, you even see how a GM would apply what you’re learning in real-time against real players!

And anytime you have any questions, there’s a friendly community of chess improvers and coaches happy to help you along.

Such an online university exists. It’s known as ChessMood. And its sole purpose is to help chess players raise their rating in the fastest way possible!

Let’s have a look at what all they offer to help players improve.

4. 1–1 Consultation with a GM: Here, you get on a 1–1 call to create a personalized training plan based on your goals and time availability.
