Chessfactor

Free structured chess courses from titled players

Chessfactor is a free chess learning platform offering structured training programs for players at every level. What makes it stand out is the quality of instruction: video lessons are recorded by top-level GMs and IMs including Sam Shankland, Alex Lenderman, Ivan Sokolov, Arkadij Naiditsch, Markus Ragger, and Alex Astaneh.

The platform covers the full range of chess education: openings, middlegame strategy, tactics, and endgames. Each course combines video material with interactive exercises, giving learners a way to practice what they have just studied.

Chessfactor started as a side project by a team of chess enthusiasts with full-time jobs. During a holiday break, they decided to make the entire site free and shift to a YouTube-supported model. Registration is required to access the full course library, but many videos are also available on their YouTube channel.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced player looking to sharpen specific areas, Chessfactor offers guided learning paths tailored to different skill levels.
