No notation, ever

The board shows you the right move with a coral arrow. You learn the moves, not a wall of cryptic symbols.

Twenty openings, both colours

The Italian, Caro-Kann, Sicilian, French, London, Queen’s Gambit and more — drilled line by line, variation by variation.

Twelve famous traps

Scholar’s Mate, the Fried Liver, the Lasker underpromotion — spring them on the unwary, and learn never to fall for them.

A coach who means it

Play the wrong move and you’ll hear about it. Daily reminders nag you in the coach’s voice. It works.
