Dear Friends,
The Summer Homework club has officially started. New homeworks will be uploaded the night before, except for the Monday homeworks. To give you more time to solve, the killer homework will be uploaded Thursday night. Solutions will be available via video and Chesstempo on the following day for every homework. Please make sure you send the homework to the right email! The killer homework should go to [email protected], while the friendly homeworks will go to [email protected] . Every submission has to include the name and rating clearly written on the homework sheet.
We remind you that during the whole month of July the “usual” homework clubs will be taking a break.
