Join us for our 2026 in-person camp!

Dear Friends,

We have exciting news – our in-person camp returns in 2026! The location will be the same, the 4* resort Zoraida Garden in Roquetas de Mar, Spain and it will happen between the 17^th and the 24^th of May 2026. Your trainers will be GM Jacob Aagaard, GM Renier Castellanos and GM Julen Arizmendi. We will soon update our website and add more info, but we wanted to let you know the dates as soon as they were confirmed. We hope to see as many of you next year!

John Hartmann will return this week in the academy with another technical class. He will talk about engines and why you might look at other engines besides Stockfish and Leela. His lecture will begin at 4 PM UK time on Sunday, the 14^th of September.

There are a bit over two weeks left until the next online camp. Nikos has been working on his new book on the French Defense and will share some of his findings in his 12 hour camp titled French Defense Middlegames. The camp will start on the 25^th of September and will last until the 28^th, with 3 hours of classes per day.

New yearly members and renewals after the 25^th of August will receive this camp for free, as a welcome gift. Everyone else who wants to participate can purchase the camp in our shop. If you are a member, remember to log in to your account to get the camp at a discounted price!
