How We Teach Chess

Rather than just teaching you lots of moves to play, at ChessHorizon we teach you about the game. Lessons will explain the ideas involved, and then go on to show you how those ideas could be used in other positions. It allows the student to learn how to think for himself or herself, and become more self-reliant as a player.
