Next Level Chess

“After only watching 10% of the course I feel a huge difference in my game. I feel more confident and have more control. The three questions to ask on every move have reduced my blunders. And the understanding of the Bishop offered me a much better position. I started this course at 1080 Rapid and ended up at 1140 this evening. The course is so good I try to make time to watch it even though I wanted to spend less time on Chess these days.”

Dror Allouche (1080 Lichess)

“I can highly recommend this course to any beginner and any chess player struggling to reach 1200 Elo online. The course is clearly structured, and you can find everything immediately. At the moment of writing, my lichess rating went up by 140 points. I am very confident that I will reach 1200 soon. And more importantly for me, at the chess club I go to once a week to play OTB, I've received quite a few compliments about how much I've improved. I am very grateful to Noel for this course and his clear, patient way of teaching and explaining chess.”

“Noël has a wonderfully clear way of explaining things in a warm, natural and friendly style. He illustrates concepts with examples that somehow make chess seem simple and logical! This course is perfect for people like me, who aren’t absolute beginners but are not yet ready for the more advanced courses that are out there. I learned so much about how to make decisions in games – for example when to go for a pawn break, when to exchange pieces, and what to do when I don’t have a clear plan. This is exactly the information I needed, engagingly presented in a very well-structured course.”

Karen Williams

“Rarely you will find a course so well explained, well designed and with a clean connection with what the beginner should only worry about when playing games. Well done!”

Mezamoe

“As a beginner who's new to chess, I absolutely loved the course and learnt so much that I can't wait to apply in my games. Thanks to Noel for his top notch teaching and helping me see the beauty of the game of chess.”

“I was amazed with the volume of information and examples provided. It did not feel rushed at all, rather the time was well spent on information and developing skills that are necessary to bring someone new to chess to a level in which they can feel comfortable. I feel I was provided the tools I need to take advantage of opportunities which before, I completely missed. I only recently started playing chess and have played many games on three different platforms without improving much. After taking this course, I now understand way. Playing many games is not enough to improve in an efficient manner. I learned more from this course than I have from all my games combined. Something else I was delighted with was the large volume of bonus material provided. This course is a great value. ”

“In my opinion, the course is clear & simple. After this course, I'm improving my way of playing chess.”

Riccardo (500 Chess.com)

“Thanks for the course Noel! I wasn't sure about signing up since I was already familiar with rules, opening principles, tactics, common mate motifs. However I still got value out of it with regards on how to think, strategy how to mate with 1 rook, promoting pawns and analyzing games.”

“For $100, GM Studer gave me everything I was looking for and more (way more). On top of that, he has the kind of attitude and personality that makes you feel empowered and motivated. Chess is...complex. And as someone coming into the game at mid-life, with no previous experience or interest, the learning journey can become overwhelming. There are of course other teachers, other beginner courses, and other ways of learning. I'm just happy I found a teacher I like and a method that works for me. Thank you GM Studer!”
