Testimonials!

In september I conducted a survey among the members of Better Your Chess. The aim was to hear how members are experiencing the site and to improve the site accordingly.

You can read a number of reactions below.

About the Lessons:

  • The detailed explanation of EACH move and the emphasis on ideas rather than long typical informant varitions.
  • I need to build a foundation. My chess “knowledge” is all over the place at present!
  • Most relevant to improving my chess
  • That is what I need, teaching, examples, input and interaction. The lessons point out things that I wasn’t aware of. They enforce what I know. My game is better because of “better your chess”. But all of the lectures and series benefit me.
  • The videos of lessons and going over master games as well as the tips. good stuff. At age 74 I need all the help I can get. I like how you explane the concepts.
  • At least teach me to be a bit more systematic in my choice of moves.
  • I am here to “better my chess”, and the lessons are the way forward. All the concepts are explained clearly and concisely.
  • you. i believe in YOU.
  • The lessons were the reasons for my signing up - and they were/are good. I like most of all the lessons teaching you/having ideas to how to think in chess. I also like very much the Mindset series.
  • Its not fair that I can choose only one thing :-). I like all the stuff! You have a good mixture of themes, good presentation and “understandable” lessons.
  • I like them all but “The Lessons” seem more structured and “Lecture” in format - I can immediately take something from them and use.
  • I like that lessons are about how to improve chess thinking, how to calculate better. In a nutshell how to be more efficient during a game.

About the inspiration that Better Your Chess provides:

  • They make me feel that I coul really improve although I am already 40 Years Old.
  • It is clearly and logically presented and often the mist clears when I go through your materials
  • I see an immediate improvement in my game. It has helped my thinking process which is where I needed a lot of work and direction.
  • I have an extensive library that I can now relate to as I view the lessons. Example: I have the book by Silman. Inbalances have never made sense until you used those concepts in one of the lessons
  • The hidden depths of games/positions are exposed, and make me realise how little I “see” in my own games.
  • The propositions on how to think in chess is inspiring.
  • Because they address my week areas and give me pointers on how to correct them
  • It’s very practical. Lesson 17 was about calculations. It’s immediate and practical.

Why would you recommend Better Your Chess to others?

  • Because it is an excellen and affordable way to learn from a master.
  • Because most players at my level are like me with large “holes” in their knowledge.
  • Simple - it helps and makes a difference.
  • The lessons are eary to understand. The concepts are easy to recall.
  • I like it.
  • I think that the materials explain the concepts much better than anything I have come across before.
  • it works even if u are good chess player
  • Because of the good stuff. And for me it is very important that you give “realistic” goals. Not like “Gain 500 points in just 4 weeks”
  • A fresh take on climbing up the learning curve
  • Because the lessons about how to think and analyze positions are very practical and will help anyone.

How satisfied are you with Better Your Chess?

  • It’s the best chess training I’ve found on the web
  • The lessons, lectures and series are done from my level of ability like someone has been where I am and know what it takes to get me to the next level.
  • It seens to reflect my level of understanding.
  • Generally i have no problem with the classes. I know that that alone cannot make anybody a good player, you have to practice by yourself. The idea is to point in the right direction, and i think you are doing a good job with it.
  • I am very happy with the materials. They work for me!
  • you are a great chess teacher. not too high, but explain all the plans and moves.
  • helps me to understood some mistakes i have always made.before i knew i made mistakes but i did not take actions to find them.now with teacher is more easy .as u know 2>1
  • It does what it says on the wrapper.
  • I’m still learning interesting things. Lesson 17 was interesting and I’m looking forward for new lessons.
