TRAIN WITH A FIDE GRANDMASTER

You don't get many chances to learn from someone who has coached a World Champion.

GM Mikhail Golubev has joined Albany Chess Center to lead online coaching sessions! He's a Ukrainian Grandmaster, a former Champion of Ukraine.

One of the world's leading opening experts.

He's now leading a small, focused online training group just 8 seats available. That means four weeks of deep chess insights, with a grandmaster guiding every single session.
This is elite-level coaching, and seats will not last.
