Chess Mentor
Complete chess course
Chess Mentor is not a game and will not be your opponent. Instead, Chess Mentor is like having your own private chess coach. Using our patented Learning Engine environment, Chess Mentor presents you with challenges crafted by internationally respected chess teachers.
You actively participate with the Learning Engine to solve these challenges with as much — or as little — help as you want. The Learning Engine continuously monitors your efforts, giving you immediate feedback, automatically providing you with review of material you have not yet mastered, and presenting you with new material only when you are ready. You learn with confidence and at your own pace.
Chess Mentor Comprehensive Chess Course
The Chess Mentor Comprehensive Chess Course contains 867 chess challenges and is designed for those who not only want to learn chess, but who also want to become at least reasonably proficient at chess. This course contains sufficient material to bring any beginner or less experienced player up to the level of the average tournament chess player. Some users will even be able to reach USCF Class A level (elo or USCF 1800+ rating) with this course. Your rate of improvement depends on how often you use Chess Mentor and on how much practice you get playing chess against slightly stronger opponents.
Using the Chess Mentor Comprehensive Chess Course, you will develop a sound foundation in tactics, learn checkmate patterns, basic endgame technique, basic strategic positional concepts, and general opening concepts. You will acquire the fundamental skills needed by anyone who aspires to reach a high level of play.

Chess Mentor for Advanced Players
Chess Mentor for Advanced Players is designed for very experienced players who want only advanced chess challenges. Chess Mentor for Advanced Players contains the same Learning Engine features and functions as any Chess Mentor product, but the challenges come exclusively from advanced course material. Any current or future Supplementary Chess Course may be added as desired to your Chess Mentor modular learning system.
Chess Mentor for Advanced Players includes all
the material from the following three advanced Supplementary Chess Courses:
Silman's Lessons in Strategy (1), by IM Jeremy Silman. This course contains 50 very instructive positional challenges. Some are very long (exceeding 20 moves and one lasts 40 moves), and experts and masters (USCF or Elo ratings above 2000) will not find many of these to be easy. A novice or intermediate level player (USCF or Elo ratings below 2000) will find these challenges quite difficult, but they will learn a bit more with each attempt, all the way until they reach master or higher.
Master Your Technique, by FM Thomas Wolski. This Course contains 50 rich and thoroughly analyzed challenges. The majority of these challenges focus on complex middlegame positions, the art of transition from the middlegame to the endgame, and on endgames themselves. This course is aimed at all players from the intermediate level to masters. Experts and even masters (FIDE and USCF ratings over 2000) will not find these challenges easy. Many of the challenges will be hard for the intermediate player, but they will learn a bit more with each attempt until they become a master of technique. The challenges feature an average length of 10 moves.
World Champions at their Best (2) -The Lasker Years, by IM Jeremy Silman. Jeremy continues his historical trek, moving on to the games of the man whose reign as World Champion lasted longer than any other -- an amazing 27 years. Emanuel Lasker was a polymath and, in addition to his chess, he was an accomplished mathematician and philosopher who was also a personal friend of Albert Einstein. Lasker believed that chess was a struggle, and was probably the first champion to take a psychological approach to chess. His games reflect this attitude as he was willing to take tremendous risks, and even intentionally make inferior moves, in order to create uncomfortable positions for his opponents. 50 Challenges with historical background of each player and match.
