Who is the advanced level for?

For serious players who want to climb the ratings

For players with a solid base looking to improve their opening repertoire, deepen their positional play and prepare to compete at the highest level possible.

You want to climb the ratings systematically

You have the level but your Elo isn't moving. You need to work on calculation, endgames and strategy in a structured way — not just more unanalysed games.

Your calculation breaks down in complex positions

In advanced tactical or complex middlegame positions you lose the thread. We'll work on variation calculation and strategic plans until they become natural.

You compete or want to compete seriously

You play or want to play in FIDE tournaments. The advanced level prepares you with technical endgames, pawn structures and middlegame plans to arrive at every game with an edge.

What will you achieve?

01
Precise calculation in complex positions

You'll train variation calculation at greater depth and avoid the calculation errors that cost games.

02
Real endgame mastery

Technical and complex endgames — rooks, minor pieces, advanced pawns. You'll learn to convert minimal advantages and defend difficult positions with solid technique.

03
Strategic plans and middlegame ideas

You'll work on the typical plans for each pawn structure and how to convert a positional advantage into a result.

04
Pawn structures as the foundation of your game

You'll understand the most important structures in modern chess — Carlsbad, Maróczy, IQP — and the associated plans for both attack and defence.

FAQ

Everything you want to know

If your question isn't here, write to us and we'll reply within 24 hours.

A specific question before joining?

WhatsApp in English
If I pre-register, am I committing to anything?
Not at all. Pre-registering simply tells us you're interested. We'll confirm whether the group opens and give you all the details before September 2026. You decide then whether to join — no payment is taken until you're fully confirmed.
Will the classes be in English?
Yes, all the English groups are taught entirely in English. The chess content, explanations and feedback are all in English.
Do I need any prior chess experience?
None at all. The advanced level is for players with FIDE Elo from ~1,500 or online Elo from ~1,800. If you're unsure, write to us and we'll assess it together before you join.
What do I need to attend a class?
Just a device with an internet connection — computer, tablet or phone. Classes run via Google Meet with a live board on screen. You don't need a physical chess board, though it can be helpful.
Is there a minimum commitment period?
No lock-in on any plan. You pay month to month and can cancel whenever you like with no penalties.
How are payments made?
Monthly payment via PayPal or bank transfer. No enrolment fee. If you join mid-month you only pay the proportional amount for the remaining days.
What if I miss a class?
No problem. All sessions follow a structured programme that makes it easy to catch up. We also send supplementary material so you can review what was covered.
Why is the price different from beginner and intermediate?
The advanced level requires a higher-level teacher. At Chesscul, advanced classes are taught by Alberto Toval (2000+ FIDE Elo, Senior FADA qualification). The greater technical demands of preparation and the teacher profile justify the differentiated price, which remains very competitive.
