Nowadays, chess training comes in all shapes and sizes. Of course you can opt for a personal approach. But it logically comes with a hefty price tag. You should count on amounts of approximately €50 per hour. This can of course be extremely useful and with such an approach there is a lot of room for questions and specific problems that the trainee is experiencing. For many, such a price tag is a bit too hefty.

A classroom approach can offer a solution for these players. I have been a member of “Killer Chess Training” for over a year and a half. The driving force behind this online chess academy is the well-known trainer and author GM Jacob Aagaard. But he is far from the only one who provides training. There is an extensive group of masters and grandmasters who provide the training.
