Free Study Plans That See Results
Testimonials
There are dozens of books, thousands of puzzles and lessons, and no real clear way to know which of these will help to improve your game. This study plan eliminates that uncertainty. You are provided with day by day instructions on what to do, and for how long. There is also a community of support available to help you on your journey.

This was a great plan for someone who wanted some day plans for what to do. I needed a week 1 / day 1 to week 12 / day 7 and this perfectly delivered. The beginner plan suggests picking up a chess.com subscription while going through the course, and I would highly recommend this as well. Will be picking up the next level soon.

Beginner
The best part about the plan is, in my opinion, the structure to my daily chess activities this plan provided, and it really is paying off. The community is amazing, and Matt’s advice and support are invaluable. I’m really excited about continuing to get better to begin the next study plans in the ChessGoals study plan series.
