Hey joined today😃

💬 “I used to hate endgames as a kid… They felt boring. Too technical. Too slow. Until I lost a winning position in a tournament — and I swore: never again. Since then, endgames have become my weapon.” That’s the story you want to hear from a Woman Grandmaster. But the truth? I’ve loved endgames since childhood. In fact, it’s one of the first things they teach you in the Russian School of Chess. In my 3-day Endgame Marathon, I’ll help you to fall in love with endgames and show you how to turn them into your secret weapon. 🗓️ We start June 20 — let’s go! Go to the classroom to book your spot!

Alright, listen up, I have been selected for Chess.com’s brand-new CoachChamps tournament! What does this mean? Well, besides the fact that Chess.com clearly has impeccable taste, it means I get to draft and train a team of four students for an entire month — turning them into tactical monsters ready to crush the competition. Now, why am I excited? You all know how obsessed I am with chess improvement — after all, we’re already grinding away in our chess marathons (and yes, our second one, Anti-Blunder, is in full swing). So this? This is just another excuse for me to push ambitious chess improvers to their limits. Want to be on MY TEAM? Here’s what you need to do: 1️⃣ Join the Chess.com Improvers Club 2️⃣ Sign up for the 2025 Chess Improvement Challenge 3️⃣ Prove that you actually want to improve I’ll be picking FOUR students from different rating brackets in the draft on September 9th at 11 a.m. ET / 17:00 CEST / 9:30 p.m. IST. So, if you think you have what it takes to survive a month of Dina-style training (chess boot camp, but make it fun), drop an “I’m in” in the comments. Let’s do this. 💪♟️
