Solid, actionable content. A plethora of info and level-up able insights for every day chess players. Glad I stumbled across this one.

Perpetual chess and chess dojo are my the most hyped but my least favorites. The chess experience is somewhere in between. You are right there with chess journeys. New in chess is behind you two.
