Welcome to Zwischenzug! This newsletter goes out to 4,909 chess players. Sign up to get chess improvement advice delivered to your inbox. Chessable can be a controversial topic. Some swear by it as a way of streamlining your training. Others accuse it of promoting mindless memorization. Well,
This comes at an ideal time. I'm just coming back to chess and Chessable after a multi-year hiatus and have been wondering how to use Chessable and not get quickly overwhelmed. I'm a slow learner. Much appreciated.
I find Chessable extremely expensive. So only I buy what I consider valuable and can't find in another place. I.ex. W.So explaining how he won the FRC WC in 2019, crushing Magnus. From Magnus I have his endgame course. Then The Dynamic Italian by IM Krykun because is based on the Evans and the two Knight defence instead of the main line 4.d3. And Aronians part 1 of his route to the elite. I am waiting for part 2. And that's it.
Instead from Forward Chess I have more than 20 ebooks that I can follow from web or mobile and there are at fair price. I mean, if there is no shipping, no printing and no paper costs you expect it to be cheaper than the paper edition, no more expensive.
The courses with video can be quite expensive, but you have options like the Short & Sweet for free. The main thing you get with Chessable compared to an ebook is a spaced repetition.
