The CIS Academy will start again tomorrow (but it can be joined at any time during the season!), so here are some very kind words from an attendee:

“Joining this chess training course has been an absolute delight and a rewarding journey. The instructor is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, breaking down complex strategies into easy-to-understand steps that even beginners can follow. The small class size ensures everyone gets personalized feedback, which has helped me sharpen my skills faster than I expected. What I love most is the friendly, competitive atmosphere—playing against fellow enthusiasts in practice matches has taught me to think critically, stay calm under pressure, and learn from my mistakes. Whether you’re a total newbie or looking to level up your game, this course is worth every minute. It’s not just about chess; it’s about building a mindset of strategy and focus that applies to all areas of life”
