Dear Friends,
We will have the monthly Playing Position simul this Saturday, the 24th of January. GM Sabino Brunello will play against members of the academy from a given position. If you’d like to join the simul, please join our team on lichess. Mention your name and membership email in your application. The link for the simul will be shared on Saturday, usually 10-15 minutes before it starts. It will be available in the website schedule. You will also receive it through a lichess message. Please be on time! Once the simul starts, it is no longer possible to join it.
On Sunday, Renier will have a Three Questions in Action class. If you are looking for previous recordings of this series of classes, you can find them on the Fundamentals in Action course page.
Join us for this year’s in-person camp! The event will take place in the 4* resort Zoraida Garden in Roquetas de Mar, Spain, between the 17th and the 24th of May. Your trainers will be GM Jacob Aagaard, GM Renier Castellanos and GM Julen Arizmendi. GM and former Women’s World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk will be our special guest this edition. She will give a masterclass, a simul and play friendly blitz games with participants.
Check the archive section of our website to get an idea about how the camp was structured last year. In the gallery section you can find some photos from the event.
Participants who will register and pay the camp fee before the 15th of February 2026 will receive a gift consisting of 6 books. Four of them will be available to choose from a list. The other two will be with free choice.
